About the Item
Title: "Union Bridge: By-Town, Ottawa River" – 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
Description: This charming hand-colored lithograph, titled "Union Bridge: By-Town, Ottawa River," captures a scenic view of the iconic Union Bridge spanning the Ottawa River near By-Town, now Ottawa, Canada. The artwork showcases a serene yet dramatic landscape, framed by tall pine trees in the foreground, leading the eye toward the bridge and surrounding islands. The scene is dotted with lush greenery, gently rolling hills, and a few buildings in the distance, illustrating the early settlement period of By-Town.
The lithograph was created by R.S.M. Bouchette, Esq., a noted artist of the time, and lithographed on stone by the talented engraver L. Haghe. Published by W.H. Lizars, the print reflects the delicate balance between natural beauty and human engineering.
What Makes This Print Interesting:
1. Historical Significance: This print provides a rare glimpse into the early days of By-Town (now Ottawa), capturing a transitional period when infrastructure like the Union Bridge played a pivotal role in connecting communities.
2. Artistic Detail: The foreground’s towering trees frame the natural and architectural features of the scene, creating a dynamic composition that emphasizes the balance between nature and human innovation.
3. Technological Marvel: The Union Bridge, one of the earliest bridges across the Ottawa River, was an engineering marvel of its time, and its depiction here is both informative and romanticized.
4. Cultural Value: As an example of 19th-century Canadian landscape art, this lithograph embodies the era's fascination with exploration, settlement, and the untamed beauty of North America.
This print is a collectible artifact that holds historical, cultural, and artistic value, ideal for enthusiasts of Canadian history, 19th-century prints, or landscape art.
