About the Item
Serene View of Flathead Lake and Surrounding Mountains – Historic Landscape Lithograph
Flathead Lake is in the northwest of the U.S. state of Montana. It is the largest natural freshwater lake in the western United States, located south of Kalispell and near Glacier National Park.
This captivating lithograph offers a detailed and serene view of Flathead Lake, one of Montana’s most iconic landmarks, as seen looking southward. Surrounded by lush forests and framed by the majestic Mission and Salish Mountains, this artwork captures the untouched natural beauty of the mid-19th century American frontier. The perspective showcases the vast expanse of the lake, with its tranquil waters dotted by small islands, evoking a sense of peace and timelessness.
Created using lithographic printing techniques, this piece highlights the precision and artistry of the period. Lithography, a method involving drawing directly onto a stone or plate with grease-based materials, allowed for intricate detailing and soft gradations of tone, evident in the finely rendered trees, water reflections, and distant mountains. The hand-coloring further enhances the scene, bringing a warm, lifelike quality to the print.
This print is not only a work of art but also a historical document, illustrating the pristine wilderness of the Flathead Valley before modern development. Collectors and enthusiasts of Americana, historical landscapes, or 19th-century art will find this piece particularly appealing.
Condition Summary: The print is in good condition with light age-related toning and minimal foxing. Margins are clean but have a few small tears and creases, not touching the image.
Tips for Matting and Framing: Choose a neutral, acid-free mat to preserve the print’s delicate tones. A wooden frame with a natural or muted finish complements the organic subject. Consider non-reflective glass to reduce glare and enhance the viewing experience. This piece would look stunning as a centerpiece in a study, library, or living room, bringing a touch of historic charm and natural beauty to any space.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von (1749-1832). Cartographer
Using information from: Humboldt, Alexander von (1769-1859)
32 x 27 cm on a leaf measuring 47 x 55 cm.

A copy was sent to Alexander von Humboldt...
