EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Home On The Mississippi" takes us back to the year 1871, capturing the essence of life along the iconic river. Created by American School in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this Currier & Ives colour lithograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era. In this scene, we are transported to an idyllic riverside setting where an African American family proudly stands outside their charming home. The image showcases not only their residence but also various elements that define life on the Mississippi. A wagon hitched to two horses hints at their reliance on transportation for both work and leisure activities. The presence of a steamer in the background adds depth and character to this snapshot of North America's history. Spanish moss gracefully drapes from nearby trees, creating an ethereal atmosphere that is synonymous with Southern landscapes. As we admire this artwork, it serves as a reminder of how diverse communities thrived along America's great rivers during this time period. It invites us to reflect on the resilience and strength exhibited by individuals who built homes and lives amidst challenging circumstances. Through its rich details and vibrant colours, "A Home On The Mississippi" encapsulates both nostalgia for simpler times and appreciation for cultural diversity within our nation's history.
