This is Still the Place:
Utah's 1897 Pioneer Jubilee - Artifacts Exhibit

Letterhead. Artist J.T. Harwood designed this letterhead for the Jubilee Commission called "Dream of the Pioneer." Two versions of the lithographic design were printed, one reading "Pioneer Jubilee" and "Semi-Centennial Commission." The stationary was used for correspondence relating to the event. While the pioneer sleeps among the pastoral, untouched landscape of the American West, a circled wagon train can be seen in the background, while the ultimate pioneer symbol, the ox yoke, rests in the foreground. The sleeping pioneer dreams of a rising sun over the panorama of Salt Lake while a locomotive and other "promising" signs of industrialization pepper the image.
