About the Item
Title: Picturesque Lithograph of Pike Lake, Railroad Exploration Survey, 1856
Description:
This charming lithograph, "Pike Lake," (Minnesota) offers a serene view of a calm lake surrounded by rolling hills and scattered trees, with an encampment in the foreground. Created as General Report - Plate VI from the Pacific Railroad Exploration Surveys, it provides a glimpse into the peaceful landscapes of mid-19th century America. The scene reflects the intersection of nature and early settlement life, capturing the essence of untouched wilderness and human activity.
Produced in 1856 by Sarony, Major & Knapp, one of the most esteemed lithographic firms of the time, this piece was part of the ambitious surveys conducted to identify railroad routes connecting the Mississippi River to the Pacific. The fine details of the landscape, from the rippling water to the clustered tents and figures, highlight the exceptional artistry and precision of lithography as a medium.
Lithography was employed here to stunning effect, with delicate shading and subtle use of color that enhances the depth and tranquility of the setting. The print is not only a work of art but also a historical document, representing the exploratory spirit and technological ambitions of the era.
Condition: Excellent, with minor foxing in the margins. Image clarity is unaffected, and edges are clean.
Framing Tip: Choose a soft beige or pale green matte to echo the natural tones in the scene, paired with a simple wooden or gilded frame. This piece would make an elegant addition to a gallery wall, study, or living room, evoking a sense of history and connection to the American frontier.
