EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in American history - the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad in 1869. The image showcases a diverse group of Chinese and European immigrants diligently working on the last mile of this monumental project. In this contemporary American engraving, we witness men from different backgrounds coming together to shape the future of their adopted homeland. These courageous individuals, known as "coolies" labored tirelessly under challenging conditions to connect East and West through rail transportation. The photograph symbolizes both the hardships faced by immigrant laborers and their invaluable contribution to building modern America. It serves as a testament to their unwavering determination and resilience amidst adversity. As we delve into this visual narrative, it is impossible not to reflect upon Manifest Destiny - the belief that expansion across North America was predestined for Americans. This engraving encapsulates one aspect of that vision; it represents progress towards fulfilling that destiny. Granger Art on Demand presents us with an opportunity to appreciate these unsung heroes who played an integral role in shaping our nation's infrastructure.
