EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lake, Wind River Mountains, c. 1837" takes us back to the early days of exploration in North America. The artwork, created by Alfred Jacob Miller in watercolor on paper, measures 23.2x30.8 cm and is housed at the Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. The image showcases a panoramic view of the majestic Wind River Range, also known as the "Winds" which forms part of the Rocky Mountains. In this scene, we witness a group of people on horseback traversing through the rugged landscape surrounding a serene lake. The presence of horses hints at their significance during that era for transportation and exploration purposes. Miller's painting captures not only the beauty of nature but also provides historical context about an expedition led by Thomas Fitzpatrick along with Miller himself and Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart in 1837. They embarked on a journey through old Nebraska Territory to one of the last fur trappers rendezvous in what is now Wyoming's Green River Valley. This artwork offers us a glimpse into American frontier life during the nineteenth century while highlighting interactions between Native Americans and traders or trappers from companies like American Fur Company. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document depicting early exploration and trade routes such as Oregon Trail. Overall, this piece transports viewers back to an important chapter in American history when discovery and travel were paramount for geographical expansion across North America.
