EXPL2A-00092 - Lewis and Clark Encounter a Majestic Grizzly Bear in Uncharted Territory
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-colored woodcut reproduction captures a pivotal moment during the historic exploration of the Louisiana Territory by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. In this scene, unknown to the white settlers at that time, we witness the intrepid explorers facing off against a formidable grizzly bear. The print showcases Patrick Goss's skillful sketching abilities as he immortalizes this extraordinary encounter. The illustration transports us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into an era defined by westward expansion and American adventure. Lewis and Clark's journey was not only about mapping unexplored lands but also documenting their encounters with native animals like this magnificent grizzly bear. As naturalists and scientists, they meticulously recorded their findings, contributing significantly to our understanding of North America's diverse wildlife. With their trusty keelboat anchored on the Missouri River, these brave pioneers ventured through what is now Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and beyond. This particular moment occurred between 1805 and 1806 when they stumbled upon this awe-inspiring creature amidst breathtaking landscapes. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork today, it serves as a reminder of both the courage displayed by those who paved the way for future generations and our responsibility to preserve these wild spaces for years to come. Let us honor Lewis and Clark's legacy while marveling at nature's wonders captured in this remarkable piece of history
