Chase & Bachelder’s American Museum of Art. ca. 1897.
The spirit of Columbia soars over the Great Plains, stringing electric poles along the locomotive tracks, which are following the settlers along the Oregon Trail in an allegory of Manifest Destiny: a classic All-American image at the cusp of the nation's 100th birthday. But Chase & Bachelder's museum is in England, specializing in American art. It's a fascinating interpretation of the American Dream as seen from across the pond. This is a woodblock print.
