EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of La Salle taking possession of Louisiana, as depicted in H. E. Marshall's book "This Country of Ours: The Story of the United States". Painted by Arthur C. Michael and dating back to 1917, this color lithograph showcases the grandeur and significance of this event. In the image, we see French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle standing on a picturesque beach, surrounded by his fellow pioneers and colonizers. With their hats held high in celebration, they cheerfully commemorate the naming and discovery of this new land. The illustration beautifully portrays the sense of triumph and joy that accompanied such expeditions during the 17th century. The coastal scenery adds an enchanting touch to this historical scene, with its pristine shoreline stretching into the distance. It serves as a reminder that exploration often took place along these magnificent coastlines, where dreams were realized and new territories were claimed. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness one of America's early milestones unfold before our eyes. This festive occasion symbolizes not only a great tribulation overcome but also marks a significant turning point in American history. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable glimpse into our nation's past - reminding us all how far we have come since those pioneering days on America's shores.
