About the Item

Scenic Valley of Kah-Wee-Ya River with Mountain Backdrop Description: This picturesque lithograph showcases the serene Valley of the Kah-Wee-Ya River, also known as the Four Creeks region, surrounded by rolling hills and majestic mountains in the distance. The composition beautifully captures the harmony of nature, with scattered trees framing the river and the expansive sky above conveying a sense of tranquility. In the foreground, two figures are depicted in repose, adding a human element to this awe-inspiring natural setting. The use of lithography ensures fine detail and delicate shading, creating a sense of depth and realism. This technique was particularly well-suited to documenting the vast landscapes of the western frontier during a time of exploration and expansion in the United States. This print not only serves as a visual representation of the geographic features of the area but also stands as a historical artifact, highlighting the significance of the Kah-Wee-Ya River in the lives of indigenous peoples and settlers alike. The evocative imagery invites the viewer to imagine the untamed beauty of the land as it once was. Additional info: The Valley of Kah-Wee-Ya River (Four Creeks) is located in what is now Tulare County, California. The "Four Creeks" region refers to the confluence of four rivers: the Kaweah, St. John's, Cross, and Packwood Creeks. These rivers flow from the Sierra Nevada mountains and were historically significant for both the indigenous Yokuts people and early settlers in the area. Today, the Kaweah River is well known for its proximity to Sequoia National Park and its role in the agricultural development of the Central Valley. Condition: Well-preserved with minor age toning. Colors remain vibrant, and details are crisp. Framing Tips: Enhance the print's natural hues with a soft cream or light green matting to complement the landscape. A wooden frame in a rustic or walnut finish would further accentuate the earthy tones and natural subject matter. Protect the piece with UV-resistant glass to prevent fading and ensure it remains a stunning focal point for years to come.
