"America Illustrated: A Journey Through Time and Landscapes" Step into the past with "America Illustrated, " a captivating collection of artworks that transport us to different corners of the United States in 1883. From serene lakes to bustling cities, this curated selection offers a glimpse into the diverse beauty and evolving landscapes of America. In Matthew Somerville Morgan's "Duck-Shooting on Saratoga Lake, 1973, " we witness a scene frozen in time, where hunters patiently await their prey amidst the tranquil waters. The artist's attention to detail captures both the serenity and excitement of this popular recreational activity. As we move westward, Charles E. H Bonwill takes us to Sunset Rock in Catskill Mountains. His painting from 1883 immerses us in nature's grandeur as vibrant hues paint the sky during twilight hours, and is an invitation to pause and appreciate the awe-inspiring beauty that lies within America's vast wilderness. The hustle and bustle of urban life come alive through various artists' lenses. In "Main Street, Buffalo, opposite the Churches, " we are transported back to 1883 Buffalo where horse-drawn carriages traverse cobblestone streets while towering churches stand as symbols of faith and community. Meanwhile, G. Wyand showcases two contrasting yet equally breathtaking scenes - one capturing the majestic Entrance to Highlands near Newburgh with its rugged cliffs overlooking pristine waters; another depicting Grand Canyon's awe-inspiring depths that leave viewers humbled by nature's magnificence. From Chicago's Grain-Vessels leaving port to Milwaukee Bay offering panoramic views of Lake Michigan, these illustrations serve as windows into America’s industrial prowess at a time when trade routes were expanding rapidly across land and waterways. Lastly, let us not forget about proposed architectural marvels like Poughkeepsie Bridge spanning across Hudson River – a testament to human ingenuity pushing boundaries even further in connecting communities separated by vast bodies of water.
