About the Item
Title: Scenic View of Butte de Morale - A Stunning 19th-Century Expedition Print
Description: This lithograph captures the enchanting landscape of Butte de Morale, a serene and verdant area that was a subject of interest during the 19th-century expeditionary surveys of the American West. The foreground features intricately detailed trees that frame a sweeping view of lush valleys and rolling hills. The depth and breadth of the scenery are skillfully rendered, inviting the viewer into a tranquil natural setting.
Butte de Morale is a prominent hill located in Wells County, North Dakota, approximately seven miles northeast of Harvey and south of Selz. It rises about 300 feet above the surrounding prairie, offering extensive views in all directions. The hill is situated primarily in Wells Township, extending over several sections. Historically, it served as a notable landmark for various groups, including Hudson Bay Company hunters and early explorers. The name "Butte de Morale" honors Morale, a French-Chippewa individual who was reportedly killed there by Sioux Indians around 1840.
The artistry in this piece showcases the precision and elegance of lithographic techniques as employed by Stanley and the Sarony, Major & Knapp lithographic studio. This print is part of a series that documented key geographical and ecological landmarks, making it not only an artwork but also a historical record of the exploration of the western territories. The composition is remarkable for its balance between natural beauty and cartographic detail, reflecting the artistic and scientific ambitions of the era.
Condition summary: Good overall condition with minor age-related toning and faint spotting on the margins. Image remains sharp and vibrant.
Framing tips: Highlight the delicate hues and detailed lines of this lithograph with a neutral-colored mat and a simple frame in dark wood or black. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the quality of the image. Perfect for a study, library, or gallery space, this print combines historical significance with timeless aesthetic appeal.
