EDITORS COMMENTS
Covered Wagon Days, c. 1770-1959 (print) captures the essence of a bygone era when pioneers embarked on daring adventures across the vast American frontier. This image, part of the James Francis Driscoll collection at Newberry Library in Chicago, transports us back to a time of exploration and untamed wilderness. The print showcases an intricately designed covered wagon hitched to a team of horses against a breathtaking backdrop of starry skies and meandering rivers. The night sky twinkles with countless stars, illuminating the path for these intrepid travelers as they journey through uncharted territories. This evocative piece is not just about transportation; it symbolizes the spirit of American expansion and the conquest of the West. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history and its relentless pursuit towards progress. The absence of people in this composition allows us to focus solely on the wagon itself - an emblematic representation of pioneering resilience and determination. Lanterns hanging from its sides suggest that even during nocturnal travels, these adventurers pressed forward fearlessly into unknown lands. Accompanied by sheet music titled "Cover" composed by Morrissey and Burrowes, this print seamlessly blends visual artistry with musical inspiration. The harmonious marriage between music scores and historical imagery adds depth to our understanding of this transformative period in American history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this snapshot from Covered Wagon Days, inviting us to reflect upon America's past while appreciating its enduring legacy.
