EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Lewis and Clark's expedition on the Lower Columbia River in 1905. Painted by Charles Marion Russell, this oil on canvas artwork depicts the first overland expedition to the Pacific coast and back, led by Captain Meriwether Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clark from 1804 to 1806. In this scene, we see the explorers navigating through misty waters in a traditional canoe while accompanied by their Shoshone guide, Sacagawea. The painting beautifully portrays the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest as well as the spirit of adventure that defined these brave pioneers. The presence of Native Americans, specifically Chinook Indians, adds depth to this historical narrative. One can imagine them communicating with Lewis and Clark through sign language or interpreting for them during encounters with other tribes along their journey. Russell's masterful brushstrokes bring life to this significant moment in American history. The foggy atmosphere creates an air of mystery and excitement surrounding their exploration into uncharted territories. This print is not only a visual delight but also serves as a reminder of America's frontier spirit and its rich cultural heritage. It is a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our vast world.
