"WEST: LECTURES, 1879. Engraved title page of a booklet promoting a series of illuminated lectures on the American West, to be given in 1879 and 1880 by Professor Stephen J. Sedgwick, accompanied by stereographs of scenic views taken by the Union Pacific Railroad". This print showcases an intricately engraved title page from a historical booklet that promoted a remarkable series of lectures on the American West in the late 19th century. The renowned Professor Stephen J. Sedgwick took center stage as he embarked on an enlightening journey across the continent, captivating audiences with his profound knowledge and expertise. The artwork itself is rich in symbolism, featuring allegorical elements such as Columbia - representing America - adorned with a Phrygian cap and holding a shield emblazoned with stars and stripes. A cornucopia spills forth abundance while an enchanting vignette depicts scenes from westward expansion. Accompanying these mesmerizing lectures were stunning stereographs captured by the talented photographers of the Union Pacific Railroad. These images transported viewers to breathtaking landscapes that showcased the natural beauty and grandeur of this untamed frontier. As part of Granger Art's Carousel Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era when exploration and discovery fueled our collective imagination.
