Dot. Dot. Dot. Done!

Gil Bennet. Four years after the Civil War, the United States is joined from coast to coast by a transcontinental railroad, as financier and former California Governor Leland Stanford drives a single golden spike into the final tie with a silver hammer. The rail lines from east and west were joined, and a single word signals to the rest of the country the momentous occasion: “DONE!” This beautiful giclee commemorates this historic event with artwork by Gil Bennet. 24"x 16".
