Covered Wagon Cowboy Frontier Herd Midwest Midwestern North American Old West Pioneer Western Wilderness
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the year 1867, a time when the vast plains of America were being conquered by pioneers in their quest for new horizons. The image depicts a scene straight out of the Old West, as a group of determined men drive a herd of powerful oxen across the rugged landscape. The Great Plains stretch endlessly into the distance, with rolling hills and wide-open skies serving as an awe-inspiring backdrop. The tranquility of this rural countryside is juxtaposed with the arduous task at hand - guiding these massive animals through untamed wilderness. A lone cowboy leads from atop his trusty steed, skillfully maneuvering through the herd. Covered wagons can be seen in the distance, symbols of hope and adventure for those brave enough to venture into this uncharted territory. It is impossible not to feel a sense of admiration for these pioneers who dared to challenge nature's might and forge their own path amidst such harsh conditions. This illustration captures both their determination and resilience in facing countless obstacles along their journey. As we gaze upon this print from "The World in the Hands" published in 1878 by Janet-Lange, we are reminded that history was shaped by individuals like these - ordinary people driven by extraordinary dreams. Their legacy lives on today as we continue to explore new frontiers and push boundaries beyond what was once thought possible.
