EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this intriguing and humorous print from the late 19th century, showcasing the nicknames of the various states in the United States. This charming antique, produced by H.W. Hill & Co. of Decatur, Illinois around 1884, offers a unique glimpse into the playful and often whimsical ways Americans referred to their home states during this era. The illustration features a collection of state nicknames, each accompanied by a quirky and often humorous representation of the state's symbol or characteristic. For instance, "The Garden of the World" is the moniker given to Michigan, with a cherubic figure holding a cornucopia, while "The Granite State" New Hampshire is depicted as a giant granite block with the state motto "Live Free or Die" inscribed on it. H.W. Hill & Co. of Decatur, Illinois, was the sole manufacturer of Hills hog ringers during this time, and while this print is not directly related to their commercial endeavors, it showcases the company's ability to produce high-quality and intricately detailed prints. The print's age and rarity make it an invaluable addition to any collection of Americana or historical memorabilia. This print offers a fascinating look into the past, providing a glimpse into the unique and often humorous ways Americans identified with their states over a century ago. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to shape our nation today.
