EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an iconic moment in American history as Frank Leslie, a renowned American illustrator, journalist, and publisher, embarks on a coast-to-coast railroad trip with his wife in 1877. The image showcases their visit to Salt Lake City, Utah, where they had the privilege of meeting Brigham Young, the influential leader of the Mormon community. In this wood engraving from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, we witness the late Mr. and Mrs. Leslie standing alongside Brigham Young during their encounter. The scene exudes curiosity and intrigue as they engage in conversation amidst the backdrop of Salt Lake City's picturesque landscape. The significance of this meeting lies not only in its historical context but also in shedding light on important social issues prevalent at that time. Polygamy was a controversial practice within the Mormon community led by Brigham Young; thus, this visit offers a glimpse into an aspect of American society often misunderstood or overlooked. Frank Leslie's talent for capturing such moments through his illustrations is evident here as he masterfully portrays both individuals' expressions and body language. This print serves as a reminder of Leslie's contribution to journalism and his ability to bring stories to life through visual storytelling. As we delve into this remarkable image from Granger Art on Demand collection titled "FRANK LESLIE (1821-1880)" it allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also its historical significance within America's cultural tapestry.
