Title: Tinted Lithograph of the Entrance to the Tejon Pass and Portion of the Tejon, 1856
Description:
This lithograph, "Entrance of the Tejon Pass and a Portion of the Tejon," illustrates the serene and sweeping landscape of California as it was encountered during the mid-19th century. Published as Plate VI in the Pacific Railroad Exploration Survey reports of 1856, the lithograph captures the gently curving terrain and lush vegetation of the area, showcasing the natural beauty of one of California's historic routes.
Produced from a sketch by Charles Koppel and lithographed by T. Sinclair of Philadelphia, this work reflects the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The lithography technique, enhanced with subtle tints, brings depth and vibrancy to the scene, emphasizing the contrast between the arid hills and the verdant trees lining the valley floor. The inclusion of figures in the foreground adds both scale and a human touch to this dramatic yet peaceful setting.
As part of the Pacific Railroad Survey, this print serves as both a scientific record and an artistic representation of a critical geographic location in the westward expansion of the United States. The Tejon Pass played a significant role in early travel and exploration, making this lithograph an important piece of historical documentation.
Additional information: The entrance to Tejon Pass is near Bakersfield and Mojave, California.
Tejon Pass, also historically known as Fort Tejon Pass, is located in the Tehachapi Mountains and serves as a major corridor between Central California (San Joaquin Valley) and Southern California (Los Angeles Basin). It is traversed by Interstate 5, including the steep and winding section known as the Grapevine.
The northern entrance to Tejon Pass is near Lebec, south of Bakersfield.
The eastern approach from the Mojave Desert runs through Mojave and the Antelope Valley before connecting to the pass.
Condition: Very good, with only light toning consistent with age. The margins are clean, and the image retains its sharp detail and color.
Framing Tip: Pair this lithograph with a neutral matte in cream or pale beige to complement its earthy tones. Use a simple wooden or antique-style metallic frame to highlight its historic and artistic significance. Perfect for display in a study, gallery, or history-themed interior.
