EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Scenes in America,' transports us back in time to the mid-19th century in the Midwest and Kentucky. The image is drawn from the pages of Reverend Isaac Taylor's educational book, 'Scenes in America,' published in London in 1821 by John Harris. The first scene depicts a determined group of settlers, dressed in period costume, traveling westward in a covered wagon. Their journey represents the spirit of adventure and expansion that characterized the era, as they sought new opportunities and lands. The second scene shows settlers constructing a log cabin, a symbol of the hard work and perseverance required to build a life in the wilderness. This image underscores the importance of self-sufficiency and the ingenuity of early American settlers. The third scene reveals the breathtaking beauty of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, a natural wonder that continues to captivate visitors today. This image highlights the rich natural resources that attracted settlers to the region. The backdrop of this engraving is a time of significant historical milestones. In 1682, William Penn signed the Treaty of Shackamaxon with the Lenape Native Americans, marking a brief period of peace and cooperation between European settlers and indigenous peoples. In 1743, Benjamin Franklin conducted his famous kite experiment, harnessing the power of electricity from the sky during a thunderstorm. And in 1789, George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States in Philadelphia. This enlightening and visually stunning image offers a glimpse into the past, providing amusement and instruction for little 'tarry-at-home' travelers. The handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the power of art and education in preserving history for future generations.
