EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Handbill of the Great Western Transportation Company, 1835" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, this artwork offers a glimpse into the exciting era of westward expansion and the development of transportation networks. The handbill showcases an array of different modes of transport that were available at the time. From carriages and boats to trains and canal packets, it highlights the diverse means through which people could travel across vast distances. The detailed illustration captures these vehicles in motion, evoking a sense of movement and adventure. One cannot help but be drawn to the bold advertising text that accompanies this visual spectacle. Promoting a new line connecting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with other destinations, this handbill serves as both an informative pamphlet and an enticing advert for potential passengers. It reflects America's growing fascination with railroads as symbols of progress and opportunity during this period. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, we are reminded not only of how far transportation has come since then but also how crucial it was in shaping our nation's identity. This print encapsulates both practicality and aspiration – showcasing not just a means to get from point A to point B but also symbolizing dreams realized through exploration. Preserved within private collections for years before being made accessible through Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, this lithograph invites us to reflect on our past while appreciating its artistic value. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition while offering us a window into an important chapter in American history – one where innovation met opportunity on roads yet traveled.
