Native American Camp Scene at Hell Gate Ronde – Peaceful Prairie Landscape, 1856

About the Item

Native American Camp Scene at Hell Gate Ronde – Peaceful Prairie Landscape This exquisite 19th-century lithograph portrays Victor's Camp at Hell Gate Ronde, capturing a tranquil moment of Native American life amidst the stunning natural backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. The scene is both serene and dynamic, showcasing teepees nestled within a grassy plain, surrounded by grazing animals and a rider on horseback in the foreground. The distant mountain ranges provide a majestic setting, contrasting the calm pastoral life with the grandeur of the untamed wilderness. Hell Gate Ronde, depicted in the print, is located in the Missoula Valley of western Montana, near present-day Missoula. Historically, the Hell Gate area was a significant passageway for Native American tribes, early explorers, and fur traders. The name "Hell Gate" is derived from the French "Porte de l'Enfer," used to describe the difficult terrain and the narrow gorge through which the Clark Fork River flows. Today, the region is known for its scenic beauty and historical significance. The lithograph, part of a historical survey, is rendered with delicate hand-colored accents that breathe life into the landscape. The soft hues of the sky and terrain blend harmoniously, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. This piece is not only an artistic achievement but also a valuable historical document, shedding light on the intersection of Native American traditions and the exploration of the American West. Produced using the chromolithography technique, the print demonstrates exceptional attention to detail and subtle gradations of tone, highlighting the artist's skill in conveying depth and texture. This method, popular in the mid-19th century, allowed for vibrant, enduring prints that remain a testament to the craftsmanship of the period. Condition: Well-preserved for its age, with some light toning and minimal spotting around the edges. Colors remain vivid, and the paper is stable. Framing Tips: Opt for a natural wood or matte black frame to complement the earthy tones. Use a warm cream or light gray mat to enhance the print's detail. Anti-UV glass is recommended to protect the artwork and preserve its vibrant colors for future generations. Perfect for historical collections or as a striking focal piece in a study or library.

"Four at the Table", 1940s American Scene Lithograph by Woman Artist
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most intriguing and mysterious WPA-era prints we have ever offered, this rare, possibly unique work depicts a group of two women and two men in intense conversation at a crude wood table, in a simple room with cracks in the plaster that show the wood lath underneath. The four almost seem like a group on the lam in a film noir from the period, desperately running from a crime of some kind. Two of the four face downward, deeply focused on the subject at hand, and another is lost in thought, a pipe in his mouth. The fourth is most mysterious of all, facing away from the viewer. but clearly animated and in conversation. The artist was Alice Harold Murphy...
