EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "The Pioneers Home: On the Western Frontier," transports us back to the mid-19th century in America, a time of great exploration and settlement on the western frontier. The scene captures the simple yet resilient life of a typical pioneer family as they make their home amidst the vast and untamed wilderness. The family, consisting of a father, mother, and their young children, are seen gathered around their humble abode, a log cabin nestled within the forest. The father, dressed in work clothes and holding a rifle, gazes out towards the horizon, perhaps keeping watch for any potential danger or in search of game to provide for his family. The mother, wearing an apron and holding a baby, looks on with a sense of pride and contentment, while the children play nearby, oblivious to the challenges that lie ahead. The farmland surrounding the cabin is being cultivated, with corn and potatoes growing in the foreground, while a turkey struts in the background, likely a source of food for the family. The forest beyond the farmland stretches on, teeming with wildlife and resources waiting to be discovered. This print, published by Currier & Ives in 1867, serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the early American pioneers who ventured into the unknown, leaving behind the familiar comforts of their old lives to forge a new path on the western frontier.
