EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT 1870. On the Mississippi-Loading Cotton" takes us back to a bustling scene on the riverfront in 19th-century America. Created by Currier & Ives in 1870, this print showcases the action and energy of maritime transportation during that era. The image depicts a steamboat docked along the Mississippi River, surrounded by workers unloading bales of cotton from its cargo hold. The late afternoon sun casts a warm glow on the scene, illuminating both the boat and its surroundings. It's fascinating to observe how each worker plays their part in this intricate process - some lifting heavy bales onto carts while others carefully stack them nearby. Notably, among these hardworking individuals are African American laborers who contribute significantly to this vital industry. Their presence reminds us of their integral role in shaping America's history and economy during this time period. The artist Nathaniel Currier and his partner James Merritt Ives have masterfully captured not only the physical labor involved but also an essence of movement and rhythm within this busy setting. As we gaze at this lithograph today, we can almost hear the sounds of machinery humming and workers conversing as they go about their tasks. This print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in American transportation history while celebrating both human resilience and diversity amidst industrial progress.
