EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the exhilarating days of the Gold Rush in 1859. The scene depicts the campsite where the adventurous Jenks party pitched their tents on a fateful day, July 22nd. Identified as Camp 100 by artist Daniel Jenks himself, this campsite rests peacefully on the banks of the mighty Humboldt River in western Nevada. The artwork, created with graphite, ink, crayon, and watercolor by none other than gold prospector Daniel Jenks himself, offers a glimpse into life during this transformative period in American history. It showcases an array of elements that defined these times - from covered wagons to campfires and bustling campsites. In this mid-19th century illustration, men and women can be seen gathered around their tents and wagons. Their faces filled with determination and hope for striking it rich in gold mines scattered across Nevada's rugged terrain. This snapshot captures both the camaraderie among prospectors as well as their tireless pursuit of fortune. As we admire this piece of artistry by Daniel Jenks - not to be confused with any commercial entity - we are transported back to a time when dreams were pursued under open skies and fortunes were sought amidst untamed wilderness. Let us cherish this visual testament to our ancestors' resilience and unwavering spirit during one of America's most iconic eras: The Gold Rush.
