EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of American history, featuring pages from "The Western Pilot" by Samuel Cummings. Published in 1847 by G. Conclin in Cincinnati, this lithograph is an exquisite example of 19th-century cartography and travel literature. The pages displayed in the photograph contain detailed charts of the Ohio River and the Mississippi, spanning from the mouth of the Missouri all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. These maps were invaluable resources for travelers and explorers during that era, providing crucial information about navigation routes and geographical features. The aerial view depicted in this print offers a unique perspective on North America's vast landscapes, inviting viewers to imagine themselves embarking on adventurous journeys across these majestic rivers. The meticulous engravings beautifully capture every intricate detail, showcasing both artistic skill and scientific precision. Preserved at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this historical artifact serves as a testament to America's rich mapping heritage. Its significance lies not only in its practical use but also as a reflection of how early Americans perceived their expanding nation. As we admire this extraordinary lithograph today, we are reminded of our ancestors' thirst for exploration and knowledge. It stands as a tribute to those who paved the way for us to better understand our continent's geography while offering us an opportunity to appreciate their artistry through time-honored engravings like these.
