The Great Seal of Oregon, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Great Seal of Oregon, 1850. The design represents the mouth of the Columbia river, and beyond is the Pacific Ocean; in the foreground is a man ploughing, indicating that agriculture has already commenced in the Territory. The steam-boat on the river denotes the extension of commerce. To the right is an Indian retiring before the advance of civilisation, his bow and arrows in his hand, and his blanket drawn around him; the setting sun is emblematical of his last day. Still further to the right are the Rocky Mountains, which, with the river, are the principal geographical characteristics of the territory'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases The Great Seal of Oregon, as it appeared in the Illustrated London News in 1850. The design of the seal encapsulates the essence of Oregon Territory during the 19th century. At the center, the mouth of the Columbia River is depicted, leading to the vast Pacific Ocean. Agriculture is represented by a man plowing in the foreground, while commerce is symbolized by a steam-boat on the river. To the right, an indigenous man is shown retreating, his bow and arrows in hand, and his blanket drawn around him. The setting sun emblematizes the twilight of his way of life, as civilization advances. Further to the right, the Rocky Mountains loom, signifying the prominent geographical features of the territory. The engraving, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the history of Oregon, showcasing the transition from indigenous lands to agricultural settlements and the encroachment of commerce. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of progress and colonialism on native populations and their lands. The Great Seal of Oregon, a visual testament to a bygone era, continues to captivate our imagination and inspire curiosity about the history of America and its people.
