EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, titled "Going Around the Horn, 1849" we are transported back to a tumultuous era in American history. The image depicts a group of determined men braving the treacherous journey around Cape Horn during the California Gold Rush. The scene is set amidst a torrential downpour, with rain pouring from darkened skies and wind whipping through their clothes. Despite the challenging weather conditions, these intrepid miners persist in their quest for gold. Clutching umbrellas tightly, they huddle together around a makeshift table as if seeking solace and camaraderie amidst the chaos. This satirical artwork offers an insightful commentary on both human resilience and the unpredictable nature of life's endeavors. It serves as a reminder that even in times of hardship and adversity, individuals can find strength within themselves and draw support from those who share similar aspirations. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical challenges faced by these brave souls but also hints at their determination to overcome any obstacle that stands in their way. Through its use of satire, this print invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as ambition, perseverance, and unity. "Going Around the Horn" is an evocative snapshot frozen in time—a testament to human spirit against all odds—and continues to resonate with audiences today.
