EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Across the Plains to California by the New Route" takes us on a visual journey through 19th-century America. The image, created by an English School artist in the late 1800s, showcases a scene filled with adventure and charm. In this print, we see a gentleman passing through vast plains accompanied by cowboys and buffalo soldiers. Their presence adds an amusing touch to the composition as they navigate their way towards California. Along their route, they encounter a squall that tests their resilience against nature's forces. The landscape itself is awe-inspiring; it features a colony of dugouts nestled in sequestered nooks amidst sublime nature. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice prairie schooners transporting goods across deserts and arid terrains. These wagons serve as vital lifelines for those embarking on this perilous journey. Bits of civilization emerge along the way - small settlements where weary travelers can restock supplies or find respite from their travels. One such stop reveals orange trees laden with fruit, offering a refreshing break from the harsh realities of frontier life. This engraving encapsulates both the challenges and beauty encountered during westward expansion in the United States. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' determination to explore new territories despite countless obstacles along their path.
