About the Item

Title: Shyenne River Landscape - Tinted Lithograph from the Pacific Railroad Survey, 1856 Description: This detailed lithograph, "Shyenne River," presents a sweeping view of the prairie landscape along the Shyenne River. Published as General Report – Plate IX in the Pacific Railroad Exploration Survey reports of 1856, the image captures the quiet beauty of this historic site, with its broad expanse of plains, gentle hills, and a bustling encampment in the foreground. The composition highlights a group of tents scattered across the prairie, illustrating the transient nature of early settlers and survey expeditions. Horses and wagons add movement and life to the serene setting, while the wide, open sky and distant hills emphasize the vastness of the American Midwest. Produced by Sarony, Major & Knapp, this tinted lithograph combines fine detail with a warm color palette, reflecting the vibrant hues of the landscape. The use of delicate shading and gradient tones gives depth to the scene, making it both an artistic and historical representation of the Shyenne River region during the westward expansion. The Sheyenne River is located in North Dakota and is a tributary of the Red River of the North. It flows through the eastern part of the state. The river starts in Sheridan County in central North Dakota and flows eastward through towns like Harvey, Cooperstown, and Valley City. It then turns south through Lisbon before curving northeast toward West Fargo. It joins the Red River of the North near Harwood, just north of Fargo. The Sheyenne River runs through Sheyenne National Grassland, an important prairie area in southeastern North Dakota. Baldhill Dam near Valley City creates Lake Ashtabula, a popular recreation spot. The river has played a role in farming and settlement in the region and has experienced flooding, especially near Valley City and Fargo. Condition: Very good, with minimal foxing in the margins. The image remains crisp, and the colors are vibrant and well-preserved. Framing Tip: Pair this lithograph with a matte in soft beige or light brown to enhance its natural tones. A wooden or antique-style metallic frame would complement its historical aesthetic, making it a perfect centerpiece for a study, gallery, or history-focused collection.
