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This scene is not only a visual delight but also an important historical document.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.
