EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Columbia River, Junction of the Des Chutes, 1856" takes us back to the rugged beauty of 19th-century America. Created by renowned artist John Mix Stanley and published by Sarony, Major and Knapp in Washington in 1856, this lithograph showcases a remarkable geographical feature. The scene depicts the majestic Columbia River at its convergence with the Deschutes River near present-day Maryhill, Washington. The lithograph captures the essence of this untamed land with its steep cliffs and deep valleys. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich hues of nature that surrounded these rivers. This print is not just a work of art; it also holds historical significance as part of Reports of Explorations and Surveys to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for a Railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. This publication was commissioned under Beverley Tucker's direction between 1853-1855 during an era when railroads were transforming transportation across America. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - an unspoiled landscape waiting to be explored. It serves as a reminder of our country's vastness and natural wonders that have shaped our history. Thanks to John Mix Stanley's artistic vision and Sarony, Major and Knapp's printing expertise, we can now appreciate this snapshot from America's past. Let us cherish this piece as both an artwork and a testament to our nation's enduring spirit.
