EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "A Rocky Mountain Trapper, Bill Burrow" by Alfred Jacob Miller. Created in 1837, this piece of art depicts the rugged and adventurous life of a trapper during the early days of exploration in North America. In the painting, we see Bill Burrow, a seasoned trapper with his trusty gun and hat adorned with feathers. The artist beautifully captures the essence of this solitary figure against the backdrop of the majestic Rocky Mountains. With intricate pencil, pen and ink details enhanced by washes on paper, Miller brings to life every line and texture. The painting tells a story beyond its visual appeal; it represents an expedition led by Sir William Drummond Stewart and Thomas Fitzpatrick along the Oregon Trail in old Nebraska Territory. This journey took them to one of the last fur trappers rendezvous in what is now Wyoming's Green River Valley. Miller's work not only portrays an individual but also provides insight into American frontier history, trade relations between European settlers and Native Americans, as well as early geographical explorations. It serves as a window into 19th-century America - its discovery, travel, exploration, and cultural exchange. Displayed at Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance.
