EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Richmond, Virginia in 1856. The image showcases the grandeur and significance of this southern capital, with its prominent landmarks dominating the skyline. Above the James River and Kanawha Canal, we see a panoramic view of Richmond's architectural marvels. At the center stands the magnificent Capitol building, an emblem of power and governance. Its imposing presence is complemented by City Hall and the Governors House on either side, symbolizing administrative authority. To the left, we catch a glimpse of the State Penitentiary, reminding us that even amidst progress and prosperity, justice must prevail. The wood engraving technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to every detail captured within it. From afar, one can observe a barge gracefully sailing along the canal while a train traverses through middle America's landscape. This scenic view encapsulates both transportation advancements during that era as well as Richmond's strategic location as a hub for trade. Richmond in 1856 was undoubtedly an antebellum gem nestled between hills alongside the James River - a sight worth cherishing forever. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully preserved this historical moment from their Carousel Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today
