EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Spanish settlement of Presidio at San Francisco. Published in 1822, it is a lithograph by Ludwig (Louis) Choris, showcasing his incredible talent as an artist. The image captures the essence of this historic outpost on the west coast of California. The Presidio, founded in 1776, stands proudly against the backdrop of the American landscape. It served as a military post and played a significant role in shaping North America's history. In this engraving, we see not only the architectural beauty of the settlement but also its integration with nature. The coastal location adds to its allure, with breathtaking views of the sea stretching out into the horizon. This maritime setting highlights both its strategic importance and its harmonious coexistence with nature. As we admire this piece from Choris' "Voyage pittoresque autour du monde" we are reminded that this area is now part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area - a testament to its historical significance and natural beauty. Intriguingly, native Americans from Ohlone tribe can be seen interacting with settlers in this portrayal. It serves as a reminder that while colonization brought change to these lands, it also impacted indigenous communities who have called America home for centuries. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our past and appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging those who were here before us.
