Through to the Pacific, 1870 - A Glimpse into America's Westward Expansion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured lithograph, created by Currier and Ives in 1870, offers a vivid portrayal of the monumental journey that shaped the destiny of a nation. The image showcases an awe-inspiring landscape where trains, ships, and steam engines converge on the horizon. Thick plumes of smoke billow from locomotives as they traverse tracks through untamed wilderness towards the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. In this visual narrative of progress and exploration, we witness pioneers embarking on their arduous migration westward. European immigrants seeking new beginnings are joined by loggers and settlers who forge ahead with unwavering determination. As they navigate rivers and mountains, these brave souls embody the spirit of manifest destiny - driven by dreams of prosperity and adventure. The print captures both the beauty and challenges faced during this era; it depicts Native Americans observing from afar as colonial forces push forward into uncharted territories. It evokes a sense of wonderment at nature's grandeur while also highlighting mankind's relentless pursuit to conquer new frontiers. This artwork serves as a testament to America's rapid modernization during the 19th century. It symbolizes not only physical expansion but also societal transformation brought about by advancements in transportation technology. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, "Through to the Pacific" invites us to contemplate our shared history - one marked by courage, resilience
