ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, 1812 - A Glimpse into the Untamed Frontier
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving by Alexander Anderson takes us back to the early days of Rochester, New York in 1812. The print showcases the first settlement as it appeared during that time - a raw and untamed landscape on the brink of transformation. In this picturesque scene, we see a group of intrepid frontiersmen venturing into the dense forest with their trusty rifles in hand. They are accompanied by their loyal hunting dogs as they navigate through towering trees and rugged terrain. The settlers have cleared some land for farming purposes, evident from the log cabin nestled amidst stumps and freshly cleared fields. The image captures both the beauty and challenges faced by these pioneers as they sought to establish a new life in an unfamiliar wilderness. A cub bear curiously peeks out from behind one of the stumps, reminding us of nature's presence at every corner. Anderson's meticulous engraving technique brings this historical moment to life with intricate details and textures. It serves as a testament to his skill as an artist capturing not only physical features but also emotions tied to this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time; reminded of our ancestors' resilience and determination that laid down the foundation for what Rochester is today – a thriving city built upon dreams forged on its wild frontier past.
