EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the American West in the 19th century. The drawing, titled "Elk. c. 1837" was created by Alfred Jacob Miller, an artist who embarked on a remarkable expedition through the Rocky Mountains alongside Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart and Irish mountain man Thomas Fitzpatrick. The trio ventured along the Oregon Trail, traversing old Nebraska Territory to reach one of the final annual fur trappers rendezvous in what is now Wyoming's Green River Valley. This artwork serves as a testament to their journey and exploration during this pivotal time in American history. Miller's skillful use of color brings this majestic elk to life on paper, showcasing its profile with great detail and precision. The animal stands tall against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes that were encountered during their travels. As pioneers and trappers made their way across North America, encountering various tribes and trading opportunities along the way, Miller documented these encounters through his artistry. His drawings served as visual records of geographical discoveries and cultural exchanges within this vast frontier. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Miller's talent but also provides insight into an era defined by adventure, discovery, and coexistence between humans and wildlife in untamed territories.
