EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "La Salle and his Companions on the Mississippi" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the spirit of exploration and adventure that defined La Salle's journey. In this scene, we witness French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and his companions navigating the mighty Mississippi River. The artist skillfully depicts their sturdy vessel gliding through the calm waters as they venture into uncharted territory. The image is taken from Columbus and Columbia, a book published by Manufacturers Book Co. around 1893. This particular illustration has been digitally cleaned to restore its original splendor while preserving its historical authenticity. La Salle's expedition played a crucial role in expanding European knowledge of North America during the late 17th century. His determination to explore new lands led him to claim vast territories for France, including parts of present-day Louisiana. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are reminded of the courage and curiosity that drove explorers like La Salle to push boundaries and discover new horizons. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and our relentless pursuit of discovery. Image credit: Bridgeman Images via Fine Art Finder
