Manifest Destiny

Niagra, 1869 by Albert Bierstadt, Wake Forest University, Simmons Collection.
Bierstadt painted panoramic, idealized scenes of the United States. His main subjects were places in the the American West which was being touted as the promised land and his beautiful landscapes helped to sell it as the place to explore and settle.

Thanks Martha! This will be an excellent idea to look for to put in one of my dollhouses. I'm still working on that mid-Victorian! This will be very good over the fireplace!
