About the Item
Rubio Canyon Falls, Mt. Lowe, Cal. shows a waterfall cascading thru a canyon of boulders and trees paralleling a wooden stairway and bridge. This historic image was published by Louis Kurtz and Alexander Allison who were one of the premier publishers of chromolithographs in the late 19th century. They were mainly known for their large prints depicting the battles of the American Civil War. Similar to Currier & Ives themes they were more interested in appealing to people’s patriotic emotions then historical accuracy. This print is a rare image from this firm. Rubio Canyon is a small canyon that begins on the southern slope of Mount Lowe and runs behind Echo Mountain. In 1893 the balloonist, inventor and Pasadena entrepreneur Thaddeus Lowe had constructed a railway to the top of Echo mountain and beyond with a pavilion that spanned the canyon. Eventually Mother Nature got the better of the project. As we can see in this magnificent print wooden stairways and staircases were built up and down the canyon to allow visitors to enjoy the beauty of the wilderness. A very historical piece of times gone by. This original chromolithograph is in very good condition.

Original Signed 1920s Lithograph Print of Winter Landscape with Snow and Trees
By George Elbert Burr
Located in Denver, CO
This original signed lithograph print by George Elbert Burr (1859-1939) features a serene winter landscape with snow-covered trees, capturing the tranquil beauty of nature in a crisp winter scene. Known for his etchings and prints, Burr’s lithograph technique beautifully reflects his mastery in portraying the delicate interplay of light, snow, and shadows in the landscape. The print is signed by the artist and is presented in a custom frame with archival materials for long-lasting preservation. The framed dimensions measure 15 x 17 ¾ inches, with the image size itself being 7 ¼ x 10 ¼ inches.
About the Artist:
George Elbert Burr was a prolific American artist born in Monroe Falls, Ohio, in 1859. From an early age, Burr showed a passion for art, creating his first etchings using zinc scraps found in his father’s hardware store. Despite limited formal training—attending the Art Institute of Chicago for only a short period—Burr developed a unique and impactful style, focusing on etchings, lithographs, and illustrations. His early works often reflected the rural landscapes of Missouri, which he sketched during his travels on a railway pass.
Burr gained recognition as an illustrator, working with notable publications like Scribner’s, Harper’s, and The Observer. In 1892, he began a monumental project illustrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s catalog of Heber R. Bishop’s jade collection, completing approximately 1,000 etchings.
From 1896 to 1901, Burr and his wife traveled extensively across Europe, capturing landscapes and scenes from Sicily to North Wales. In 1906, Burr moved to Denver, Colorado, where he created the Mountain Moods series and began to document the American Southwest. His work often featured the rugged beauty of the Arizona desert and the New Mexico landscape. Burr’s Desert Set...
