Title: On the Southern Route, From San Francisco to New York - Published in *The Graphic*, October 1, 1887
This hand-colored wood engraving, published on October 1, 1883, in The Graphic, a British illustrated newspaper, depicts various scenes from the "Southern Route" that travelers took from San Francisco to New York. The engraving is divided into multiple vignettes, each showcasing different aspects of life in the American West during the late 19th century.
- Top Left: A scene in a Western town, showing cowboys on horseback outside a saloon and others interacting with their environment, illustrating the rugged lifestyle of the frontier towns.
- Top Right: A view of a Mexican house at Fort Yuma, Arizona, providing a glimpse into the architectural styles and interactions between locals in the region.
- Middle: A street scene in Dodge City, Colorado, emphasizing the vibrant social life of the Western town, with cowboys gathered outside a saloon and horses tethered to posts.
- Bottom Left:*A dramatic depiction of a stagecoach racing through the mountainous landscape near Nut, New Mexico, pulled by a team of galloping horses, conveying the challenges of overland travel.
- Bottom Right: A serene landscape of the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico, offering a contrast to the rougher scenes, showing native life in a more peaceful setting.
This engraving captures the diverse experiences of those traveling across the southwestern United States in the 1880s, from rugged frontier towns to encounters with native cultures. The blend of detailed human interactions, bustling town life, and the expansive western landscape offers a vibrant view of the Old West.

About the Publication and Technique:
*The Graphic* was a weekly illustrated newspaper founded in 1869 in London. Known for its high-quality wood engravings, it provided detailed visual journalism on events and scenes from across the globe. This particular engraving showcases *The Graphic*'s ability to bring the American West to a European audience, feeding into the fascination with the frontier.
The engraving was produced using the wood engraving technique, which involved carving the image into a wooden block. These blocks were then inked and pressed onto paper, making them suitable for large-scale reproduction in newspapers. Hand-coloring was later applied to enhance the imagery, adding depth and vibrancy to the scenes.
