EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Opening up the Far West" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing English settlers in their quest to explore and develop the untamed lands of North America. The print captures a pivotal moment in history when pioneers ventured into the wilderness, armed with axes and determination. In this scene, lumberjacks are seen hard at work amidst a dense forest. Towering trees surround them as they skillfully fell one after another, clearing space for progress. Their efforts mark the birth of new townships that would soon flourish across Canada and Oregon. The image not only highlights human endeavor but also emphasizes nature's bounty. Each tree represents an invaluable resource - timber for construction, firewood for warmth, and kindling for cooking fires. It is through these scientific methods that early settlers harnessed the natural wealth of North America. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured by an unknown English artist, we can't help but marvel at how far humanity has come since those pioneering days. This engraving serves as a reminder of our collective past – a testament to courage, resilience, and exploration that shaped the Western Hemisphere into what it is today.
