EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Elk, Rocky Mountains, c. 1837" by Alfred Jacob Miller takes us back to the early days of exploration and discovery in the American West. The artwork depicts a stunning landscape of the Rocky Mountains, with a majestic elk standing proudly amidst its natural habitat. The artist, Miller, was accompanied by Sir William Drummond Stewart and Thomas Fitzpatrick on their journey along the Oregon Trail in 1837. This expedition led them to one of the last annual fur trappers rendezvous in what is now Wyoming's Green River Valley. Miller's attention to detail is evident in this piece as he skillfully captures the essence of both the landscape and wildlife. The use of pencil, pen and ink, as well as watercolor techniques adds depth and vibrancy to his work. The image transports us to a time when pioneers ventured into uncharted territories for trade and exploration. It serves as a reminder of our rich geographical history while showcasing America's diverse wildlife. Displayed at Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, this artwork stands as a testament to Miller's talent and his contribution to documenting America's frontier era. Its presence invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also the courage and spirit that drove individuals like Miller to explore new horizons during this transformative period in American history.
