EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Transatlantic Sketches, the Mississippi River" takes us back to a bygone era in 19th-century America. The engraving, created by an unknown English School artist, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the untamed beauty and rich history of one of America's most iconic rivers. The image transports us to a time when Native American tribes still roamed freely along its banks. In this particular scene, we witness a Sioux encampment nestled amidst the breathtaking topography of the Upper Mississippi region. Majestic bluffs rise proudly in the background while Fort Snelling stands as a testament to early European presence in these lands. As our eyes wander across this intricate artwork, we are drawn to every minute detail - from the sprawling prairies du Chien to the meandering Missouri tributary that merges with its mighty counterpart. This engraving was originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on April 10th, 1858 - offering readers across continents a window into distant lands. Through this remarkable piece of artistry and historical documentation, we are reminded of both nature's grandeur and humanity's interconnectedness across vast oceans. It serves as an enduring reminder that even centuries ago, cultures collided and harmonized along these riverbanks – forever shaping what would become known as United States' heartland.
