Our visit to the arch was fairly uneventful, but as we drove out of the city, it became clear to us the greater significance of the structure and also the importance of St Louis in our quest to find the soul of America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe slowly realised that St. Louis’s story could be interpreted as a metaphor for modern America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA once great city, it is now a town wrapped in faded glory.

The Gateway Arch was created as a symbolic monument to commemorate the expansion of the United States in the 19th century into the western territories. Dedicated to the Lewis and Clark expedition, the arch triumphantly celebrates St. Louis’s position as the starting point of this journey and the symbolic gateway to the West.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor many pioneers and settlers, St. Louis was the last stop in the known world before they entered the wilds of the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase, of which it was the de facto capital...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrints\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll prints are presented on Hahnemühle Pearl Giclée paper.
