EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of emigrant life in North America during the 19th century. The image is divided into four sections, each depicting a different aspect of the struggles and triumphs faced by families in search of a better life. In the top section, we see families on the road, embarking on a journey filled with hope and uncertainty. Moving down to the center, we witness the challenges of crossing rivers with animals and wagons, symbolizing the obstacles that these families had to overcome on their quest for a new beginning. The lower right corner showcases the backbreaking work required in settling and cultivating new land during the first season. Despite facing tremendous hardships, these resilient individuals persevered and laid down roots for future generations to thrive. Finally, in the lower left corner, we see families enjoying the fruits of their labor in their second year - a testament to their resilience and determination. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by early settlers in shaping North America into what it is today. Ken Welsh's keen eye for detail brings this historical scene to life, offering viewers a glimpse into an era marked by perseverance, hard work, and ultimately, success against all odds.
