Detailed explanation-1: -American Progress is an 1872 painting by John Gast, a Prussian-born painter, printer, and lithographer who lived and worked most of his life during 1870s Brooklyn, New York. American Progress, an allegory of manifest destiny, was widely disseminated in chromolithographic prints.
Detailed explanation-2: -Crofutt reproduced the painting in his guidebooks; though the image is rich in detail, most Americans would have seen the image at just 12.75 – 16.75 inches. The central female in the image is called Columbia. She is carrying a schoolbook in one hand and a string of telegraph wire in the other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gast uses his painting to tell the message that the United States is destined to expand West. Technology, such as railroads and telegraph wires, is moving west as well as many people. Gast is trying to encourage interest in moving west.
