EDITORS COMMENTS
VIRGINIA: NEW RIVER, 1873. Running New River Rapids. Engraving from an American magazine captures the spirit of adventure and resilience in the face of adversity. This image showcases a group of brave men, including African Americans, navigating the treacherous currents of New River. In this late 19th-century engraving, we witness a thrilling challenge as these individuals fearlessly tackle the dangerous rapids on their raft. The illustration beautifully depicts the exterior beauty of Virginia's natural landscape while highlighting the inherent danger that comes with such an exhilarating endeavor. The presence of African American men in this scene is particularly noteworthy, symbolizing their strength and determination amidst societal challenges during that era. Their inclusion serves as a testament to their courage and unwavering spirit in pursuing new experiences despite facing discrimination. This historic print from Granger Art on Demand offers us a glimpse into a time when river rafting was not only an exciting recreational activity but also a daring test of one's mettle against nature's forces. It reminds us that even in times past, people sought adventure and thrived on pushing boundaries. Let this engraving transport you back to 1873 Virginia - where danger meets bravery, where diversity defies limitations - capturing both the thrill and resilience embodied by those who dared to conquer New River Rapids.
