EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Things as They Are 1849" takes us back to a significant chapter in American history. The image showcases a vibrant landscape of California during the Gold Rush era, with its majestic mountains serving as a backdrop. In this cartoon-like scene, we witness an intense communication between men engaged in a heated fight, symbolizing the turbulence and violence that characterized this transformative period. The artist's use of satire and caricature is evident through the exaggerated features and actions of the individuals depicted. It serves as a powerful commentary on democracy and politics at that time, highlighting both their flaws and strengths. Amidst the chaos, an intriguing bird catches our attention - perhaps representing freedom or hope amidst adversity. The horizontal composition allows for multiple elements to be included within the frame, emphasizing the vastness of this historical moment. Notably, only men are present in this large group of people, reflecting societal norms prevalent during that era. Through its illustration technique reminiscent of Western script and fictional beings, this artwork immerses us into American culture from over 170 years ago. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how far our society has come since then while also acknowledging how much remains to be achieved. This print by S Lee Perkins and Henry Serrell invites us to reflect on our past while contemplating our future – reminding us that history continues to shape who we are as individuals and as a nation.
