EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FRONTIER STATION: BEGGAR" takes us back to the American West in 1876, capturing a poignant moment frozen in time. The wood engraving, created by William de la Montagne Cary, portrays an old Native American woman seated on a porch at a frontier station. With her weathered face and tattered clothing, she extends her hand in a plea for food. The image showcases the harsh realities faced by indigenous people during this era of westward expansion and manifest destiny. As pioneers and frontiersmen go about their daily lives, this beggar serves as a reminder of the struggles endured by Native Americans amidst rapid societal changes. In the background, we see elements that define the wild west - from log cabins to wheelbarrows - painting a vivid picture of life on the frontier. A dog stands nearby, perhaps offering companionship to both the woman and those passing through. This thought-provoking print invites us to reflect upon our shared history and challenges us to consider how far we have come since then. It reminds us of the importance of acknowledging and respecting diverse cultures while recognizing that progress should never come at the expense of others. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by The Granger Collection, let it serve as a testament to resilience and compassion in times past – urging us towards empathy and understanding in our own present-day world.
