EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Rocky Mountains, 1874" takes us back to a time when Native Americans skillfully navigated the Platte River on horseback in Nebraska, USA. Created by Robert Hinshelwood, this steel engraving is a reproduction of Worthington Whittredge's painting "Crossing the River Platte" from 1871. It now proudly hangs in the Roosevelt Room at the White House in Washington DC. The image captures the essence of an idyllic landscape as indigenous riders forge their way through the pristine waters with majestic mountains serving as a breathtaking backdrop. The horses gracefully carry their riders across the river while teepees dotting the plains hint at a vibrant native culture deeply connected to nature. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported to another era - one where man and animal coexist harmoniously within their natural surroundings. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this geographical feature but also its significance for both Native Americans and early American settlers alike. "The Rocky Mountains, 1874" is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. This volume showcases stunning illustrations on steel and wood by eminent American artists who sought to capture and celebrate America's diverse landscapes. Through this powerful artwork, we are reminded of our country's rich history and deep connection with its land and people.
