EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1673, showcasing an iconic moment in American history. The image portrays Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet, two brave explorers, embarking on a daring adventure along the upper Mississippi River. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this 19th-century illustration beautifully captures the essence of their expedition. In this scene, we witness Marquette and Joliet gracefully maneuvering a sturdy canoe through the river's currents. Dressed in traditional garb of that era, these men epitomize the spirit of exploration and discovery that defined America's frontier during the 17th century. Both men were driven by more than just curiosity; they carried with them a deep sense of faith as missionaries for Christianity. As Jesuit priests from France, their mission was not only to explore new territories but also to spread Roman Catholicism among indigenous peoples. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the challenges faced by early colonists and traders who relied on rivers like the Mississippi for transportation and trade routes. This image serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and highlights the significant role played by French Canadians in shaping North America. Let us cherish this snapshot from history—a testament to courage, resilience, and unyielding determination—captured within one frame.
