EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Samuel P. Avery Transporting His Treasures Across the Sea, ca. 1875-80" depicts a remarkable scene from 19th century America. Formerly attributed to Thomas Nast, this black and white artwork showcases Samuel P. Avery, an influential art dealer of his time. In this intriguing portrait, Avery stands proudly on a cargo ship as it traverses the vast ocean waves. The artist's skilled use of graphite, ink, and gouache on gray paper adds depth and texture to the image, capturing every detail with precision. Avery's journey across the sea symbolizes his dedication to his profession as he transports valuable treasures from one location to another. As a man of great influence in the art world, he played a significant role in shaping American culture during that era. Theodore Wust masterfully captures Avery's determined expression and confident stance against the backdrop of endless water transport. This artwork serves as both a testament to Avery's successful career and an homage to transportation methods prevalent in that period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece not only celebrates one man's voyage but also represents America's rich history and its connection with art and commerce during the 19th century. Through this evocative portrayal by Theodore Wust, viewers are transported back in time to witness Samuel P. Avery embarking on yet another extraordinary adventure across the sea - carrying with him treasures that would shape American artistic heritage for generations to come
