Columbia River Junction with Des Chutes – A Majestic River Landscape, 1856
About the Item
Title: Columbia River Junction with Des Chutes – A Majestic River Landscape
Description: This captivating lithograph depicts the dramatic junction of the Columbia River with Des Chutes, offering a breathtaking view of rugged cliffs and serene waters. The scene captures the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest during the mid-19th century, showcasing the untamed wilderness before industrial development. The soft tonal gradations and intricate detailing bring depth to the cliffs, riverbanks, and flowing water, inviting the viewer to explore the remote and unspoiled terrain. This print is part of the iconic U.S. Pacific Railroad Surveys, a series of artworks created during explorations for transcontinental railroad routes. These lithographs served as valuable documentation of the American West's geography, flora, and fauna, combining artistic talent with scientific observation.
This lithograph, rendered by Stanley Del, exemplifies the mastery of 19th-century printing techniques, using a combination of hand-tinting and precision lithography to create a vivid and lifelike representation of the scene. The atmospheric rendering of the sky and river emphasizes the vastness and solitude of the landscape.
The junction of the Deschutes River and the Columbia River is located near Celilo, Oregon, which is east of Portland on the Oregon-Washington border.
This area is historically significant as it was home to Celilo Falls, an important Native American fishing and trade site before it was submerged by the construction of The Dalles Dam in 1957. The Deschutes River enters the Columbia River just upstream from The Dalles, near where Celilo Village remains today. This location was a major meeting place for indigenous tribes for thousands of years.
Condition: Very good condition with crisp details and vibrant hand-tinting. Minimal signs of age-toning near the edges, enhancing its vintage charm.
Framing Tips: This lithograph would look exceptional with a neutral mat and an ornate, dark wood frame to complement its historical significance. Position under UV-protective glass to preserve its colors, and consider adding a subtle inner mat in pale green or blue to highlight the natural tones of the scene. Perfect for a study, library, or any space celebrating American history and landscapes.
