About the Item

Title: Scenic Expedition to Cadotte’s Pass in the Rocky Mountains Description: This historic lithograph, titled "Approach to Cadotte’s Pass," captures a timeless view of one of Montana's most significant mountain passes, once a critical route for Native Americans, trappers, and early explorers. The scene showcases an expedition of horseback riders and wagons traversing a rugged, open landscape, flanked by distinct geological formations and the rolling foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The composition expertly conveys the vastness and natural beauty of the American West, celebrating the adventurous spirit of its history. Created using the lithographic technique, this print combines precision and artistry to bring this wilderness scene to life. The warm, earthy tones and finely detailed topography emphasize the harsh yet majestic environment faced by early travelers. Lithography was a popular method in the 19th century for creating such intricate and evocative visuals, allowing the artist to reproduce both the fine lines of the geological features and the expressive textures of the landscape. The historical significance of Cadotte's Pass adds to the allure of this piece, evoking the challenges and triumphs of the early expeditions through the Rockies. This print is not only a visual delight but also a conversation piece for history enthusiasts and collectors of Western Americana. Cadotte's Pass is located in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana, near the Continental Divide. It lies west of Helena, Montana, and is named after François Cadotte, a Métis fur trader who used the pass in the early 19th century. Historically, Cadotte's Pass was an important route for Native American tribes, fur traders, and early explorers traveling between the plains and the western valleys. It played a role in facilitating commerce and cultural exchanges in the region and remains significant for its historical and geographical importance. Condition: Lightly toned paper with minor foxing, typical of its age, yet colors remain sharp. Margins are clean and intact except for a few pinholes in the top margins, not touching the image. Framing tips: Complement the natural tones of the print with a warm tan or cream-colored mat and a wooden frame in a walnut or oak finish.
