Detail view of a quilted patchwork collage of photo-silkscreened imagery. It includes portions of a 1887 map of the state, engravings of county courthouses from Sheriff's letterheads, pieces of trademarks and labels, writing from an 1804 map of Lewis and Clark's route, a letter from the governor in 1869, and excerpts from a broadsheet offering a reward for the apprehension of men who deserted a schooner in 1846.
