EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MISSISSIPPI RIVER, 1858" takes us back in time to the enchanting lower Mississippi River. The image showcases a serene night scene where canoes gracefully glide through the dark waters. Crafted with intricate detail, this wood engraving from 1858 captures the essence of a bygone era. The artist skillfully portrays the mystique and tranquility of the river at night. The moonlight casts an ethereal glow on the water's surface, illuminating the silhouettes of canoes as they navigate their way through its currents. Each stroke of the engraving brings to life not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of wonder and adventure that was characteristic of those times. In this snapshot, we catch a glimpse into history when Native Americans and early settlers coexisted along these shores. The presence of indigenous people in their canoes adds depth to this composition, reminding us of their deep connection with nature and reliance on rivers for sustenance and transportation. As we admire this artwork by Granger NYC from The Granger Collection, we are transported back to mid-19th century America – a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. This piece serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an invitation to reflect upon our nation's rich heritage tied closely to its majestic rivers like Mississippi - forever etched in history.
