EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases a vintage greeting card from Kentucky, dating back to 1939. The image transports us to the heart of Kentucky, USA, a state whose name originates from an Iroquois word meaning "Meadow Land". The rich history of this region is evident in the card's description. It reveals that even before 1750, Indian tribes journeyed all the way from the Rocky Mountains to visit Kentucky. The first white settlement was established at Harrodsburg in 1774, marking an important milestone in the area's development. Kentucky holds another significant distinction as being the second district west of the Alleghenies to be settled and subsequently became a state in 1792. This fact highlights its pioneering spirit and early role in shaping America's western expansion. The visual representation on this greeting card evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when handwritten notes were cherished forms of communication. Its intricate design captures both the natural beauty and cultural heritage that define Kentucky. As we gaze upon this historical artifact preserved through lithography techniques such as offset lithographs, photolithographs, planographic prints, and transfer prints; we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its significance as a testament to our shared past.
