EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Indians attacking the Overland Mail on the plains before the days of the Pacific Railroad" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a dramatic scene that reflects the challenges faced during westward expansion. The image depicts a group of Native Americans fiercely attacking an Overland Mail carriage as it traverses through the vast and untamed plains of America. The absence of any sign of civilization highlights how this event occurred before the construction of the Pacific Railroad, emphasizing just how isolated and dangerous these journeys were. The artwork was originally commissioned for Edwin Hopper's book, "The World its Cities and Peoples" published by Cassell around 1890. It serves as a visual representation of one aspect of life in America during that time - encounters between settlers and indigenous tribes. With intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, this engraving transports viewers to an era when conflicts between Native Americans and European settlers shaped American history. It reminds us not only of our nation's past but also encourages reflection on cultural exchange, colonialism, and coexistence with indigenous communities. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical artifact continues to captivate audiences with its vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in American frontier life.
