EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Process of Excavation, Erie Canal, Lockport" takes us back to the 19th century in America. The image showcases the monumental engineering feat that was the construction of the Erie Canal in New York. In this print, we witness a scene filled with laborers diligently working on excavating the canal. Among them are immigrants who have ventured to North America seeking new opportunities and a better life. The presence of Irish workers highlights their significant contribution to this ambitious project. The Erie Canal played a crucial role in transforming transportation and trade in America. It connected the east and west coasts of New York State, becoming part of an extensive canal system known as the New York State Barge Canal. This intricate network facilitated efficient transport by boat and tugboat across various waterways. The engraving beautifully captures both the scale and significance of this endeavor. It serves as a testament to American ingenuity and determination during an era marked by rapid industrialization and immigration. Displayed at the esteemed New-York Historical Society's collection, this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in American history – one that forever changed commerce, migration patterns, and ultimately shaped modern-day infrastructure systems across our nation.
