EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Oregon - Salmon Fisheries" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the rich history and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. The image depicts a scene along the Columbia River, one of Oregon's iconic waterways known for its abundant salmon population. The artwork captures a man standing on the riverbank, surrounded by an array of fishing implements. With his gaze fixed on the flowing waters, he represents both the connection between humans and nature and their reliance on these bountiful resources for sustenance. Intricate illustrations adorn this postcard-like print, depicting various species of fish swimming alongside cans that symbolize Oregon's thriving salmon industry. These cans serve as a testament to how integral fishing was to not only sustaining local communities but also contributing to economic growth in this region during that era. The map featured in this artwork provides geographical context, highlighting Oregon's vast expanse covering over 96,000 square miles with a population nearing 175,000 at that time. It serves as a reminder of how human settlement has shaped and interacted with nature throughout history. Through this historical illustration captured by American School artists in 1889, we are transported into an important chapter in Oregon's past—a snapshot frozen in time that celebrates both its natural abundance and human ingenuity.
