EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the discovery of the Hudson River in 1609 by English explorer Henry Hudson. Setting sail on the ship Half Moon in search of a Northwest Passage to Cathay, Hudson stumbled upon this majestic river that would later bear his name. The image transports us back to the seventeenth century, when brave explorers like Hudson navigated uncharted waters in pursuit of new lands and trade routes. The black and white composition adds a sense of timelessness to this historic scene, emphasizing the importance of this momentous discovery. As we gaze upon this snapshot from The History of Our Country, published in 1899, we are reminded of the spirit of exploration and adventure that shaped America's early years. The intricate details captured by Ken Welsh serve as a visual reminder of our nation's rich heritage and the courage it took to venture into the unknown. Let us reflect on Henry Hudson's bold journey and celebrate his legacy as we continue to explore new horizons and push boundaries. This print is not just an image frozen in time; it is a testament to human curiosity and resilience that continues to inspire us today.
