About the Item
Historic View of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Overlooking the Arkansas River
This lithograph captures a historically significant view of Fort Smith, Arkansas, along the banks of the Arkansas River. The scene showcases the fort's prominent buildings, including the barracks and flagpole flying the American flag, as well as the surrounding settlement nestled on the river bluff. A steamboat is depicted on the river, emphasizing the critical role of the waterway in transportation and trade during the mid-19th century.
Produced using the chromolithography technique, this print stands out for its clarity and soft color palette. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the intricate architecture of the fort to the reflection of the steamboat in the calm waters. Fort Smith, originally established in 1817, played a crucial role as a frontier outpost during westward expansion and served as a hub for military operations and trade.
Collectors of Americana and those interested in the history of westward expansion will appreciate this lithograph for its artistic merit and historical context. It offers a rare glimpse into the life and architecture of Fort Smith at a time when it was a gateway to the western frontier.
Condition: Light toning with minimal foxing; overall excellent condition with vibrant colors and well-preserved details.
Framing Tips: Pair with a white or light gray mat to enhance the serene tones of the print. A dark wood or brushed metal frame would complement the historical theme and provide a polished presentation. Use UV-protective glass to safeguard the delicate colors.
