EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wooding up on the Mississippi" transports viewers to a moonlit night along the majestic river. The colour lithograph, created by Currier and Ives, showcases a paddle steamer in action as it loads up fuel for its steam-powered journey. In this nocturnal scene, cords of wood are being meticulously stacked onto the boat's deck, ready to feed the hungry furnace that propels it forward. The image exudes an air of mystery and tranquility as the moon casts a soft glow over the entire scene. The darkened river reflects this ethereal light, creating an enchanting ambiance that captures both nature's beauty and man's industrious spirit. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the rhythmic churning of water against the vessel's hull and feel the cool breeze rustling through nearby trees. It is a moment frozen in time - a testament to America's rich maritime heritage. This private collection piece reminds us of simpler times when steamboats ruled these waters with their cargo-laden decks and billowing smokestacks. It serves as a reminder of our nation's reliance on rivers for transportation and commerce during this era. Through this evocative photograph, we are transported back to an era where moonlit nights illuminated bustling scenes like these along America's great rivers – forever immortalized by Currier and Ives' masterful artistry.
