EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Guide for Emigrants, containing sketches of Illinois" takes us back to the early 19th century when America was still being explored and settled. The image showcases a beautifully detailed map created by J. M. Peck in 1831, providing valuable information about the states of Illinois, Missouri, and their neighboring regions. The vibrant colors of this lithograph draw our attention to the intricate cartography that highlights Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky as well. It serves as a visual guide for those who were venturing into these uncharted territories during that time period. Published by Lincoln and Edmands in Boston, this historical piece offers a glimpse into the past while also serving as an important resource for emigrants seeking new opportunities in the expanding American frontier. The Newberry Library in Chicago is fortunate to house such a significant artifact that represents both artistry and practicality. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate the dedication it took to create such comprehensive maps before modern technology made them easily accessible. This artwork reminds us of our ancestors' courage and determination as they embarked on journeys towards unknown horizons - shaping not only their own destinies but also contributing to the growth and development of these great states we know today.
