Its title frames the picture as a sweep of forty years, from 1867 to 1907, so the subject is change over time in the American West rather than a single place or event. The chromolithograph process, which built color by layering several printed impressions, was popular for bold, mass-produced images in the 1890s and early 1900s. The 1867 starting point falls during the years when railroads were pushing across the plains toward the Pacific, and the title suggests the print presents the region's growth as a story of settlement, transportation and development. Its record also notes a U.S. Copyright Office registration, which points to a piece issued for wide circulation.
