EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a significant moment in the history of Rugby, Tennessee. In this image, we witness the clearing of Central Avenue, a pivotal event in the development of this newly founded town. The scene depicts a man on horseback overseeing the deforestation process as workers diligently clear away trees and vegetation along Central Avenue. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to every stroke, giving life to this historical snapshot. Rugby's founding is shrouded with ambition and dreams of prosperity. Nestled in the southeast region of Tennessee, this town was established as an experimental utopian community by British author Thomas Hughes. As pioneers sought new beginnings in America's vast landscape, Rugby became their beacon of hope. The image not only captures physical transformation but also symbolizes progress and growth within society. It serves as a testament to human determination and resilience against nature's obstacles. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand collection, we are transported back to that transformative era when towns like Rugby were born out of sheer willpower. This photograph invites us to reflect on our own journey through time while appreciating how far we have come since those early days in rural Tennessee.
