the wooden boardwalk

Printed to order at our Pacific Northwest studio on premium canvas stock with archival pigment inks

that splendid wedge of Gilded Age commerce

A wartime broadside yoking Jefferson's republican gospel to Bryan's prairie thunder

and the careful forgetting of what the war had only just settled
