EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1849, capturing a pivotal moment in American history. Here we witness Fort George, later known as Astoria, standing proudly on the banks of the mighty Columbia River. Established by John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company in 1811, this fort marked the first permanent settlement in what would become known as the Oregon country. The wood engraving beautifully showcases the exterior of Fort George against a backdrop of lush forests and breathtaking scenery. It transports us to an era when brave frontiersmen and homesteaders embarked on perilous journeys towards manifest destiny. In this image, we catch a glimpse of life on America's western frontier. A boat gracefully glides along the Columbia River while lumberjacks work diligently amidst towering trees nearby. This scenic view reminds us of both nature's grandeur and man's determination to conquer new territories. As settlers ventured westward into uncharted lands, Fort George served as their sanctuary and symbolized their dreams for a better future. Its presence became synonymous with westward expansion and laid down foundations that shaped our nation. This print from Granger Art on Demand encapsulates not just historical significance but also captures an awe-inspiring landscape that continues to inspire generations today.
