EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning beauty of Camp Stevens in Montana, USA, back in 1856. Created by renowned artist Gustav Sohon as part of the United States Pacific Railroad Survey, this image showcases the camp's westward view. Serving as a vital base for meteorological observation and side explorations in the Rocky Mountains, Camp Stevens played a crucial role in determining the most practical and economical route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. The lithograph depicts an expansive landscape filled with breathtaking geographical features. The majestic mountain range of Rocky Mountains dominates the background while a serene river, known as Bitterroot River, meanders through the countryside. Lush greenery surrounds Camp Stevens, with trees and plants adding vibrancy to nature's canvas. With its vivid colors and meticulous detailing, this 19th-century print transports viewers back in time to witness America's exploration era firsthand. It is a testament to human curiosity and determination to conquer new frontiers. Preserved within Reports of Explorations and Surveys published by Sarony, Major and Knapp under Beverley Tucker's direction in 1856, this lithograph stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. As we admire Gustav Sohon's work alongside John Mix Stanley's collaboration on this print collector piece from Heritage Images collection today, we are reminded of our nation's rich heritage rooted in exploration and discovery.
