About the Item

Title: Scenic View of the Palouse Region – A Rare 19th-Century Lithograph This exceptional lithograph, titled "Source of the Peluse," offers a picturesque depiction of the Palouse region, celebrated for its rolling hills and expansive vistas. Created as part of the Pacific Railroad Surveys during the mid-19th century, this print captures a serene and detailed view of the landscape, characterized by undulating terrain, scattered trees, and a sense of untouched wilderness. The intricate craftsmanship of the lithography process brings out the subtle gradients of the hills, the texture of the vegetation, and the soft shadows cast across the open fields. The Palouse region is located in the northwestern United States, primarily covering parts of southeastern Washington, north-central Idaho, and extending into northeastern Oregon. It is characterized by its rolling hills and fertile soils, making it one of the most productive agricultural areas in the country, particularly for wheat and legumes. The region's distinctive geography was formed by wind-blown silt deposits (loess), creating its iconic undulating terrain. Towns such as Pullman, Washington, and Moscow, Idaho, are situated in this area, which is also known for its scenic beauty and historical significance. This scene is not only a visual delight but also an important historical document. The Palouse, located in the northwestern United States, is a significant agricultural region and a geological marvel. This print provides a glimpse into the untouched beauty of the area before extensive settlement and farming transformed the landscape. The lithograph was printed by Sarony, Major & Knapp, a renowned firm noted for their precise and high-quality lithographic works, adding to its artistic and historical value. Lithographs of this caliber are highly collectible, particularly those associated with exploratory surveys that document America’s westward expansion. This piece is an extraordinary blend of artistry and history, making it a perfect addition to any collection focused on landscapes, historical maps, or 19th-century Americana. Condition Summary: Light foxing and minor discoloration on margins, overall well-preserved. Print area is clean with sharp details. Framing Tips: Pair with a soft white or cream mat and a simple wooden or gold-toned frame to enhance the natural tones. Non-reflective UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the lithograph. Ensure the frame complements the earthy hues of the print for a timeless presentation.
