About the Item
Title: Tinted Lithograph of Valley in the Slope of the Great Basin, 1856
Description:
This beautifully tinted lithograph, "Valley in the Slope of the Great Basin, Leading from the Tejon Pass," offers a serene glimpse into the rugged landscape and unique vegetation of mid-19th century California. Created from a sketch by expedition artist Charles Koppel and lithographed by A. Hoen & Co., this piece was part of the monumental Pacific Railroad Surveys conducted to determine the most feasible routes for a transcontinental railroad. As Geology Plate XI in the survey's documentation, this print was published in 1856 under the "Reports of Explorations and Surveys."
The lithograph employs subtle tones and detailed shading, enhancing the drama and vastness of the Great Basin landscape. The striking depiction of Joshua trees and the distant view of a mounted group traversing the valley exemplify the fine balance between scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. This combination of artistry and historical documentation captures the challenges and allure of exploring the untamed American West.
Condition: Excellent, with minimal age-related toning. Colors remain vibrant, and edges are clean, with no tears or stains.
Framing Tip: Pair this lithograph with a matte in light beige or cream to accentuate the natural tones. A dark wooden or antique-style metallic frame complements its historic aesthetic, making it a striking addition to a study, office, or living space. Ideal for collectors of historical art and lovers of Western Americana.
