FRONTIERSMAN, 1858. The Surprise
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph created by Currier and Ives in 1858. This remarkable artwork captures the essence of America's westward expansion during the mid-19th century. In this scene, we witness a fearless frontiersman on horseback, embodying the spirit of adventure and manifest destiny. The lithograph showcases an equestrian figure skillfully navigating through untamed wilderness. With his rifle at hand and lasso ready for action, he represents the resilience and resourcefulness required to survive in this rugged landscape. As he rides through uncharted territories, he encounters an American Indian who appears to be equally surprised by their unexpected encounter. This print serves as a visual testament to the complex interactions between settlers and Native Americans during this transformative period in American history. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as cultural exchange, conflict, and coexistence amidst westward expansion. Currier and Ives were renowned for their ability to capture significant moments in American life through artistry that resonated with audiences across the nation. "FRONTIERSMAN, 1858. The Surprise" exemplifies their mastery of lithography techniques while providing viewers with a glimpse into the challenges faced by those who ventured into unknown territories. As we admire this lithograph today, it serves as both a historical artifact and a reminder of our collective past – one that shaped not only America's physical landscape but also its identity as a nation built upon
