Bitter Root River Near Fort Owen in Montana - Tinted Lithograph of 1856

About the Item

Title: Bitter Root River Near Fort Owen in Montana - Tinted Lithograph from the Pacific Railroad Survey, 1856 Description: This stunning lithograph, "Bitter Root River Near Fort Owen," showcases the serene beauty of the Bitter Root River as it winds through a lush forested valley with a dramatic mountain backdrop. Published as General Report – Plate LXVI in the Pacific Railroad Exploration Survey reports of 1856, the scene captures the tranquil harmony of the landscape, emphasizing its natural and cultural significance during westward exploration. The composition features a fisherman seated by the riverbank, lending a human element to the wilderness scene. The calm waters reflect the surrounding trees, while the distant mountains rise majestically, framing the picturesque valley. This lithograph highlights the rugged yet peaceful beauty of the region, inviting the viewer to appreciate the unspoiled frontier. Created by Sarony, Major & Knapp, this lithograph uses subtle tints and fine detailing to bring the landscape to life. The contrast between the verdant foliage, shimmering water, and distant peaks exemplifies the artistry of mid-19th-century lithography. This piece serves as both a work of art and a historical record of the landscapes encountered during the Pacific Railroad Survey. This image shows the Bitter Root River near Fort Owen, a location in Montana. Fort Owen was an important historical site in the Bitterroot Valley, near present-day Stevensville, Montana. It played a significant role in the early settlement of the area and was central to trade and interactions with Indigenous peoples. Condition: Very good, with light foxing in the margins. The image remains sharp, with vibrant colors and no visible damage. Framing Tip: Complement this lithograph’s natural tones with a matte in pale green or beige. Pair it with a wooden or metallic frame to enhance its timeless appeal, making it a perfect addition to a study, library, or collection focused on Western Americana or natural landscapes.
