The title, *The herd on the move*, places this print in motion, though the record does not say which animals it shows. W.J. Hays painted and drew the image, and Endicott & Co. printed it as a lithograph for Goupil & Co. of New York, a firm known for publishing reproductive prints for American buyers. The date of about 1862 comes from an unverified shelflist card, so treat it as approximate. Large lithographs like this one brought images of the open country to households far from the plains.
