EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile of the Convention for the purchase of Louisiana by the United States, signed on April 30,1803. The lithograph was created by an anonymous American artist from the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The image captures a significant moment in history when the United States acquired the vast territory of Louisiana from the French Republic. The agreed price for this transaction was $250,000, although it eventually cost nearly double that amount. This document represents not only a legal agreement but also symbolizes America's expansion and influence during that time. The photograph highlights intricate details such as handwritten signatures, historical autographs, and official seals. It offers viewers a glimpse into this crucial period when Spain relinquished control over its colony to France before ultimately selling it to the United States. The presence of British and Canadian influences can be observed in this document as well since they were neighboring territories at that time. This facsimile serves as an important reminder of how North America's landscape changed during this era and how it shaped both American and Canadian history. Jean Pierre Courau's expert engraving skillfully brings out every detail in this fascinating piece of history. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back to a time when nations negotiated their borders amidst vast wildernesses – truly capturing the essence of early America on paper.
