EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by the renowned American printmakers Currier & Ives, transports us back to a simpler time in the late 19th century. Titled "The Arkansas Traveller" it offers a charming scene set deep within the backwoods of Arkansas. In this rustic countryside setting, we see a log cabin nestled among towering trees and rolling hills. The daily life unfolds before our eyes as a man on horseback approaches the humble abode. He is accompanied by a young boy riding alongside him, both seemingly engrossed in conversation or perhaps sharing tales of their journey. Meanwhile, outside the cabin's entrance, an animated group gathers around an impromptu jam session. A skilled musician plays his violin with fervor while others join in with clapping hands and tapping feet. It is evident that music holds great importance in this community as it brings joy and unity to their lives. Not far away stands a girl holding onto her horse's reins, observing the lively scene with curiosity and delight. The presence of whisky bottles scattered about suggests that merriment flows freely here amidst nature's embrace. Through this lithograph, Currier & Ives capture not only the transportation methods prevalent during that era but also provide us with glimpses into rural American life filled with simplicity, camaraderie, and an appreciation for music's
