EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1785, where we witness a significant moment in American history at the Frontier Trading Post. In this scene, a Native American is engaging in an age-old practice of bartering fur for guns with colonists. The drawing by C. W. Jefferys beautifully captures the essence of this exchange. The image transports us to a time when America was still a young colony, and its vast frontier held endless opportunities and challenges. The trading post serves as a hub for cultural exchange between Native Americans and European settlers, showcasing the intricate dynamics that shaped early colonial life. As we observe closely, we see men and women bustling around the interior of the trading post. Buckskin-clad individuals negotiate deals while wearing traditional leggings, representing their rich indigenous heritage. A musket rests on the counter as both parties assess its value against precious furs. This snapshot offers insight into daily life during this era – one filled with exploration, survival skills, and resourcefulness. It reminds us of how trade played an essential role in shaping relationships between different cultures on American soil. Through this evocative artwork by Charles W. Jefferys, we are transported back to 1785 - witnessing firsthand an important chapter in American history at the Frontier Trading Post.
