EDITORS COMMENTS
This color engraving from 1849 showcases the historic town of Astoria, Oregon Territory. Nestled at the mouth of the majestic Columbia River, this enchanting settlement holds a significant place in American history as the first permanent establishment in the Oregon country. Established by John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company in 1811, Astoria stands as a testament to early American exploration and expansion along the western coast. The image depicts a scenic view of Astoria with its charming landscape and picturesque river side. The fort, built by John Jacob Astor himself, proudly dominates the foreground, symbolizing resilience and determination amidst untamed wilderness. As one gazes upon this print, it is impossible not to feel transported back to an era when manifest destiny fueled dreams of westward expansion. Beyond its historical significance, this engraving captures the essence of early North West America - rugged yet breathtakingly beautiful. It serves as a reminder that before skyscrapers adorned city skylines or highways crisscrossed our nation, there were intrepid pioneers who braved unknown territories for adventure and opportunity. This remarkable piece from The Granger Collection allows us to appreciate both the natural splendor surrounding Astoria and its pivotal role in shaping America's fur trade industry during that time period. Whether you are an art enthusiast or a history buff seeking glimpses into our past, this print offers a window into an era where courage met uncharted horizons on America's wild frontier.
