About the Item

Title: Stunning View of Mount Rainier from Steilacoom Description: This exquisite 19th-century lithograph features Mount Rainier in all its majestic glory, as viewed from the vicinity of Steilacoom. The image perfectly captures the towering beauty of the iconic peak, framed by gentle foothills and a sparsely wooded foreground. This scene, rich in both scale and serenity, portrays the natural wonder of the Pacific Northwest as it might have appeared to early settlers and explorers. The lithograph, part of the United States Pacific Railroad Surveys, combines scientific precision with artistic expression. The technique involves detailed line work and subtle shading, creating depth and texture that bring the towering mountain and surrounding landscape to life. The meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious balance of light and shadow give this print a timeless appeal. Mount Rainier, a stratovolcano, remains one of the most recognizable landmarks of Washington State. This print preserves the grandeur of the peak before modern development, offering a window into the pristine wilderness of the 1800s. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its role in documenting the uncharted American West during the era of railroad expansion. Mount Rainier is southeast of Steilacoom, Washington. The distance between Steilacoom and Mount Rainier is about 50 miles (80 kilometers) in a straight line. By road, the drive to Mount Rainier National Park takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the route and traffic. The mountain is visible from Steilacoom on clear days, especially from higher elevations or open areas near Puget Sound. Mount Rainier is the highest peak in Washington state, standing at 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), and is part of the Cascade Range. Condition: Very good condition with sharp details and minimal toning. A few faint marks on the edges, typical of prints from this period. Matting and Framing Tips: A crisp white mat with a natural wood or black frame will highlight the mountain's prominence and create an elegant display. Consider using museum-grade UV-protective glass to preserve the integrity of the print and enhance its longevity. This piece is perfect for enthusiasts of landscape art, history, or Pacific Northwest memorabilia.
