EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print showcases the historic expedition of Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet on the upper Mississippi River in 1673. The image takes us back to a time when adventure and exploration were at the forefront, as these brave men embarked on a journey that would shape North American history. In this illustration, we see Marquette and Joliet navigating the mighty river in their canoes, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. Dressed in traditional attire, they are accompanied by Native Americans who played an integral role in guiding them through unfamiliar territories. This depiction highlights not only the spirit of discovery but also emphasizes the important relationships forged between European explorers and indigenous peoples during this era. As Jesuit missionaries, Marquette's priestly presence is evident as he spreads his faith along with knowledge about new lands. Together with Joliet's expertise in fur trade, these two individuals represent both spiritual and economic motivations behind early French expeditions into North America. The print offers a glimpse into an era where vast regions remained uncharted and untamed. It serves as a reminder of our collective past while honoring those who fearlessly ventured into unknown territories to expand human understanding. This artwork stands as a testament to the rich history of exploration that shaped what is now known as the United States of America.
