EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1856, capturing a mesmerizing view of Grand Coulee in Washington, USA. The artist behind this masterpiece is Gustav Sohon, who skillfully portrays the vastness and beauty of this natural wonder. Stretching from the head of present-day Grand Coulee Dam over fifty miles southwest to Ephrata, this geographical feature leaves viewers in awe. The print originates from Reports of Explorations and Surveys to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for a Railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. Published by Sarony, Major and Knapp in 1856 under the direction of Beverley Tucker, it serves as both an artistic representation and a historical document. In vibrant colors that bring life to every detail, Sohon's lithograph showcases not only the dry river bed but also highlights the surrounding countryside. This image holds significance beyond its aesthetic appeal; it offers insights into American history during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back in time – witnessing nature's grandeur through Sohon's eyes. It reminds us of our connection with our surroundings and how they have shaped our nation's development. Let this print serve as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements like railroads (such as those mentioned in Pacific Railroad Survey), there is still immense value in appreciating and preserving our natural landscapes.
