Sauk River Landscape - Tinted Lithograph from the Pacific Railroad Survey, 1856

About the Item

Title: Sauk River Landscape - Tinted Lithograph from the Pacific Railroad Survey, 1856 Description: This serene lithograph, "Sauk River," presents a picturesque view of the lush and expansive landscape along the Sauk River. Published as General Report – Plate III in the Pacific Railroad Exploration Survey reports of 1856, the scene offers a glimpse into the rich natural beauty of the region during the mid-19th century. The composition highlights the gently rolling hills, scattered trees, and the tranquil flow of the Sauk River. A wagon team crossing the valley adds a human element to the otherwise untouched wilderness, emphasizing the interaction between settlers and the environment. The detailed rendering of the vegetation and geological features showcases the artistry and precision typical of survey lithographs from this era. Created by Sarony, Major & Knapp, this tinted lithograph employs soft hues and subtle shading to bring depth and warmth to the scene. The result is both an accurate depiction of the terrain and a work of art that captures the spirit of exploration and the grandeur of the American landscape. The Sauk River is located in Washington State, in the northwestern United States. It is a tributary of the Skagit River, which flows into Puget Sound. The river begins in the Cascade Mountains near Glacier Peak and flows northwest through Snohomish and Skagit Counties. It joins the Skagit River near the town of Rockport, Washington. The Sauk River Valley is known for its scenic beauty, with rugged mountain landscapes and dense forests. The river is federally designated as a Wild and Scenic River, meaning it is protected for its ecological and recreational value. It is a popular destination for fishing, rafting, and hiking. Condition: Very good, with minor foxing in the margins. The image remains sharp, and the colors are vibrant and well-preserved. Framing Tip: A cream or pale green matte would complement the natural tones of the lithograph, while a wooden or antique-style metallic frame would enhance its historic and aesthetic appeal. Perfect for display in a study, library, or collection focused on the landscapes and history of the American West.
