About the Item
Title: Tinted Lithograph of Kettle Falls on the Columbia River, 1856
Description:
This stunning lithograph, "Kettle Falls, Columbia River," captures the raw power and striking geology of one of the Columbia River’s most iconic features. Created by Stanley and lithographed by the prestigious Sarony, Major & Knapp of New York, this piece was published as General Report – Plate XLVII in the Pacific Railroad Exploration Survey reports of 1856. The lithograph is a vivid example of the artistic documentation of natural landmarks encountered during these mid-19th-century exploratory expeditions.
The scene depicts turbulent waters cascading over fractured rock formations, with indigenous figures in the foreground. These individuals are engaged in fishing, a nod to the historical importance of Kettle Falls as a gathering and fishing site for Native American tribes. The combination of natural detail, human activity, and dynamic composition reflects the lithographer’s ability to blend artistic expression with scientific observation.
This tinted lithograph employs skillful shading and color washes to convey the power of the river and the ruggedness of the surrounding landscape. The detailed rendering of the rocks and water adds depth and texture, making the scene both visually dramatic and historically significant.
Additional info: Kettle Falls is near Fort Colville. Historically, Kettle Falls was an important fishing and gathering site for Native American tribes on the Columbia River. Fort Colville, a Hudson's Bay Company trading post established in 1825, was located about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Kettle Falls in what is now northeastern Washington state. Today, the modern town of Kettle Falls is near the former location of both Kettle Falls and Fort Colville, which are now submerged under Lake Roosevelt due to the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam.
Condition: Very good, with slight age-related foxing on the margins. The image remains clear and vibrant.
Framing Tip: Highlight this print’s rich detail by using a matte in a neutral tone, such as soft beige or gray, and pair it with a dark wooden or antique-style metallic frame. Perfect for display in a study, office, or as part of a collection of historical or natural-themed prints.
