EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1818 showcases the iconic steamboat Clermont, designed by Robert Fulton, as it gracefully passes West Point on the Hudson River. The image provides a rare glimpse into early American transportation and maritime history, capturing the essence of this pioneering vessel. The Clermont's significance cannot be overstated; it was one of the first successful steamboats in North America and played a pivotal role in revolutionizing river travel. This particular print is particularly special as it is the only known contemporary view of the Clermont that exists today. The artist behind this lithograph is Charles Balthazar Julien Fevret de Saint-Memin, a French painter renowned for his detailed landscapes and portraits. His skillful rendering brings to life not only the majestic steamboat but also its picturesque surroundings with lush trees lining the riverside. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in American history when technological advancements were reshaping society. The paddle wheel churning through the water symbolizes progress and innovation while reminding us of our enduring connection to nature. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us of how far we have come since those early days of steam-powered transportation. It stands as both an homage to Robert Fulton's visionary design and an ode to New York's rich maritime heritage.
