Hey, so just created the page on 1/27/07. Mdiamante 06:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page should probably reference Bishop Berkeley's line "Westward, the course of empire takes its way". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.20.157 (talk) 13:53, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Paintings

How big are they. You know, the Size? Anyone ... anyone ... Buhler? 71.164.128.167 (talk) 05:00, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs most of the content from http://www.explorethomascole.org/tour/items/69/series/; site run by Historicusinc.com for their client, ThomasCole.org, "an affiliated site of the National Park Service". Two items in particular: 1. The title of this series of paintings is taken from Bishop George Berkeley's poem "Westward the course of empire takes its way", 2. The sizes, dates, and composition of the paintings: All are "Oil on canvas", "The Savage State" 1834, 39½ x 63½ in., "The Arcadian or Pastoral State" 1834, 39½ x 63½ in., "The Consummation of Empire" 1836, 51 x 76 in., "Destruction" 1836, 39½ x 63½ in., "Desolation" 1836, 39½ x 63½ in. 71.164.128.167 (talk) 19:43, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Latin quote

"Sic transit gloria mundi" is directly connected to these paintings how? It looks like pure editorial to me. 71.164.128.167 (talk) 19:44, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
