The Industrial Revolution brought many changes to the American landscape. How these changes were perceived was due in no small part to their interpretation in paintings and prints. Prints in particular had the advantage of wider distribution at lower cost and therefore reached a larger public, helping to inform American attitudes about the process of industrialization. This paper will address the ways that works of art were commissioned and published when a specific purpose was intended, that of influencing the public toward positive acceptance of an industrial way of life.
