EDITORS COMMENTS
Manifest Destiny, painted in 1872, captures the essence of American expansionism during the 19th century. The image depicts a female figure, possibly an angel, leading pioneers westward as they journey across the vast landscape of North America. The pioneers travel by foot, stagecoaches, and railways, encountering Native Americans and herds of bison along the way.
This painting symbolizes the belief that it was America's destiny to expand its territory from coast to coast. The scene is filled with hope and determination as these settlers venture into unknown territories in search of new opportunities and a better life.
The presence of the angelic figure adds a sense of divine guidance to their journey, emphasizing the idea that this westward expansion was not just a physical endeavor but also a spiritual one. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by both settlers and indigenous peoples during this period of rapid growth and change.
Manifest Destiny is not just a historical event but also a powerful symbol of American identity and ambition. This print serves as a visual representation of that pivotal moment in history when America's future seemed boundless and full of promise.
