EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact - a letter announcing the arrival of captains Lewis and Clark. Published in The Boston Intelligencer on November 19th, 1806, this rare document marks the triumphant return of Captain Meriweather Lewis and William Clark from their groundbreaking expedition. The image captures the essence of an era filled with exploration and adventure as it transports us back to a time when America was still being discovered. The letter itself is beautifully preserved, showcasing elegant calligraphy that conveys both excitement and anticipation. Lewis and Clark's expedition, which took place between 1804 and 1806, holds immense importance in American history as it marked the first overland journey by United States explorers to reach the Pacific coast and successfully return. Their courageous endeavor paved the way for future transcontinental expeditions. Displayed against a backdrop of columns resembling those found in early newspapers, this print not only celebrates this remarkable achievement but also pays homage to the power of journalism during that period.

As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our nation's rich heritage built upon curiosity, determination, and unwavering spirit. This photograph invites us to delve into history while appreciating the courage displayed by these intrepid explorers who ventured into uncharted territories for the sake of knowledge and discovery.
