EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1875 titled "NANTUCKET SCENE, 1875. Hauling a dory over the hills on Nantucket, Massachusetts" takes us back in time to witness a moment of hard work and determination on this picturesque American island. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of rolling hills and meadows, with the vast Atlantic Ocean visible in the distance. A group of men can be seen laboriously hauling a dory over these rugged terrains, showcasing their resilience and resourcefulness. The presence of a horse-drawn cart suggests that this was no easy task, highlighting the importance of teamwork and ingenuity in overcoming challenges. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported to late 19th-century Nantucket - an era characterized by its strong ties to agriculture and maritime industries. The workers' attire reflects their dedication to manual labor as they navigate through sandy dunes towards their destination. This wood engraving not only captures a specific moment in history but also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that has shaped Nantucket's identity throughout generations. It reminds us of the island's rich heritage rooted in hard work, perseverance, and community bonds. With its intricate details expertly etched onto wood by skilled hands more than 150 years ago, this print from The Granger Collection allows us to appreciate both the artistic craftsmanship involved in creating such engravings as well as gain insight into life on Nantucket
