EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled "Dalles of St. Louis," is an exquisite work of art created by Alfred Waud in the early 1880s. The image depicts a scenic view of the Dalles of the St. Louis River, a geographical feature located in St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America. Waud masterfully captures the essence of the natural beauty of the area with his graphite drawing heightened with white on green wove paper. The Dalles, a series of rapids and shallow water areas in the river, are prominently featured in the print. The rapids are shown as a turbulent and powerful force, with white water cascading over the rocks. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees, their leaves a rich green colour, providing a stark contrast to the grey, monochrome tones of the rapids. The print offers a glimpse into the history and heritage of St. Louis, a city with a rich cultural and artistic tradition. Waud's skilled hand captures the raw power and untamed beauty of nature, making this print a must-see for any art lover or history buff. The Dalles of St. Louis were once a significant location for the Native American tribes who inhabited the area, and later became a vital trading post for European settlers. This print is an invaluable addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the natural wonders that continue to inspire artists and visitors alike. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is just one of the many esteemed institutions that have recognized the value of Alfred Waud's work and have included it in their collections. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the natural world and the power of art to capture and preserve its essence.
