EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Hot Springs at their source in Lou Lou Fork, Bitterroot Mountains, Montana, USA, 1856" transports viewers to the untouched beauty of America's wild frontier. Created by renowned artist John Mix Stanley and printed as part of the Reports of Explorations and Surveys series in 1856, this print captures a moment frozen in time. The scene unfolds amidst the rugged landscape of the Bitterroot Mountains. A vibrant color palette brings to life the lush countryside surrounding the hot springs. Towering trees frame the composition while a majestic mountain range looms in the distance. The bubbling waters from these natural geothermal wonders add an ethereal quality to this picturesque setting. Stanley's attention to detail is evident throughout; every plant and geographical feature is meticulously rendered. This lithograph not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as documentation for historical exploration efforts during that era. Commissioned under the direction of Secretary of War Beverley Tucker between 1853-1855, this print was part of a larger project aimed at finding an optimal route for a railroad connecting Mississippi River to Pacific Ocean - known as Pacific Railroad Survey. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece today, we are transported back to a time when nature reigned supreme and unspoiled landscapes like these were abundant across our great country. It serves as both a testament to American history and an invitation to appreciate and preserve our natural treasures for generations yet unborn.
