A Lithographic View of Indigenous Life Along the Columbia River in circa 1856

About the Item

Title: Scenic Depiction of "Dalles" - A Majestic View of Indigenous Life Along the Columbia River Description: This exquisite lithograph titled "Dalles" captures a serene yet dynamic riverside scene along the Columbia River. Featuring indigenous people in their daily activities, the composition skillfully portrays a balance between nature's grandiosity and human interaction with the environment. The iconic basalt cliffs of the Columbia River form a striking backdrop, while the river reflects the soft hues of a setting sun, adding an ethereal glow to the scene. The detailed foreground, with figures fishing and engaging in everyday tasks, provides a glimpse into the harmonious relationship between the indigenous population and their natural surroundings. This piece is a fine example of 19th-century lithographic artistry, produced by Sarony, Major & Knapp, a renowned lithography firm based in New York. The delicate color palette and intricate details demonstrate the skill of both the artist and the lithographer, making this print a treasured historical and artistic artifact. Its inclusion in a government expedition report highlights its role in documenting the landscapes and peoples of the American West. Condition: The print is in very good condition with minor toning consistent with age. Slight foxing on the margins and a few small pinholes in the top do not affect the image. Tips for Matting and Framing: Use a neutral or slightly warm-toned mat to enhance the soft hues of the print. Consider a simple black or dark wooden frame to draw attention to the composition while complementing its historical significance. Acid-free materials are recommended to ensure long-term preservation of this delicate piece.
