The cover.(Cover Story)
It is "one of the most striking allegorical representations of the great migration," wrote Carl Irving Wheat (1892-1966) about the small, round woodcut that appears on the 7.5-cm-by-10.5-cm book-plate of the California Historical Society, shown above. (1) The image is of a pioneer family on a peak in the Sierra Nevada looking westward over California toward the ocean and the setting sun. The artist and woodcutter of that picture, which first appeared from April 1854 to December 1856 on the front of the Pioneer: or, California Monthly, are unknown. The visual theme of the picture was a popular one of the period; its best-known expression is the 20-by-30-foot mural titled Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way (Westward Ho!) painted by Emanual Gottlieb Leutze (1816-68) in 1861 on a stairwell wall of the U.S. Capitol.
