EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Milk River, Near Junction of Missouri, 1856" showcases the remarkable talent of artist John Mix Stanley. Created in the 19th century, this print offers a vivid glimpse into the untouched beauty of Montana's landscape. The scene depicted is none other than the Milk River near its junction with the mighty Missouri River. The artist skillfully captures nature's grandeur as he portrays a panoramic view on August 18,1853. Towering mountains serve as an awe-inspiring backdrop to this picturesque location. Intriguingly, amidst this breathtaking scenery, we spot a majestic stag gracefully traversing through the plain. This inclusion adds life and movement to an already stunning composition. The abundance of plant life and trees further enhances the sense of tranquility that permeates throughout. Notably, this lithograph was part of Reports of Explorations and Surveys to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for a Railroad from Mississippi River to Pacific Ocean. Published by Sarony, Major and Knapp in Washington in 1856 under Beverley Tucker's direction for the Secretary of War. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it serves as both a testament to America's vast natural wonders and an homage to John Mix Stanley's artistic prowess. It transports us back in time while reminding us how precious our environment truly is—a timeless reminder captured within these vibrant colors on paper.
