EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Wagon emigrants to the west" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the era of westward expansion in North America. The image showcases a vast landscape of the Midwest, with its sprawling plains stretching as far as the eye can see. As dusk settles over this wild frontier, we witness a group of intrepid migrants gathered around their campfire. The scene is filled with activity and anticipation. Hunters return from their expeditions, rifles slung over their shoulders, while travellers take a well-deserved rest after a long day's journey. A pioneer family tends to their cooking duties near an old-fashioned tent, filling the air with tantalizing aromas. Meanwhile, wagons hitched together stand ready for transport along this arduous path. In this moment frozen in time by American School artists, we are reminded of both the challenges and dreams that fueled these settlers' migration towards new horizons. The flickering firelight casts warm hues on weary faces and grazing cattle nearby. As we gaze upon this print from Peter Newark American Pictures collection through Bridgeman Images' lens, it serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' resilience and determination during one of history's most transformative periods - when families embarked on perilous journeys across untamed lands in search of better lives.
