EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time and witness the enchanting beauty of a moonlit journey along the mighty Mississippi River. This print captures a historic moment from 19th century America - the arrival of the majestic Steamboat Queen of the West. As she gracefully rounds a bend in the river, her paddlewheel churns through shimmering waters, leaving behind a trail of sparkling stars and stripes reflected in its wake. The steamboat's chimneys release plumes of smoke into the night sky, creating an ethereal atmosphere that is further enhanced by bursts of colorful fireworks illuminating the darkness. Passengers on board gather at different points along her deck to bid farewell or simply marvel at this magnificent spectacle. Their silhouettes are beautifully framed against a backdrop of towering riverbanks adorned with lush vegetation. The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as flames dance atop torches held by crew members who salute their departure with fiery flare. It is as if time stands still for this fleeting moment, capturing both history and romance in one breathtaking image. This remarkable colour lithograph from Currier & Ives' Historica Graphica Collection transports us to an era when steamboats ruled America's waterways and brought people together on unforgettable journeys filled with wonder and adventure.
