Design Plus Gallery presents John Stobart’s ‘Independence: Start of the Santa Fe Trail in 1842’. This limited edition print depicts the historic trail that was used by adventurers, traders, and settlers during the mid-19th century. The artwork showcases a scenic landscape with horses and wagons traversing through rugged terrain towards their destination.
