Scene at the Mouth of Russian River, 1872. Creator: John Filmer
Scene at the Mouth of Russian River, 1872. Fishing boat on the Russian River where it flows into the Pacific Ocean, California, USA. The river takes its name from the Russian-American Company which explored the area in the early 19th century. The entrance to the mouth of Russian River is quite picturesque. There
are numbers of schooners and sloops laden with red-wood, some going north, to Portland - others south, to San Francisco, Monterey, and as far down as the Isthmus. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1872]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Scene at the Mouth of Russian River, 1872" captures a picturesque moment in California's history. Taken by John Filmer, this image showcases a fishing boat on the Russian River as it gracefully flows into the vast Pacific Ocean. The river itself derives its name from the Russian-American Company, which extensively explored this area during the early 19th century. The scene depicted is truly enchanting; with numerous schooners and sloops laden with redwood passing through the entrance to the mouth of Russian River. Some are headed north towards Portland while others journey south to San Francisco, Monterey, and even as far down as the Isthmus.

John Filmer's expertly captured engraving transports us back to a time when fisherfolk relied on these waters for their livelihoods. The rocky coastline adds an element of rugged beauty to this coastal landscape that has been immortalized through art. This print serves as a reminder of California's rich maritime heritage and its deep connection with nature. It encapsulates both transportation and trade along these waterways during the 19th century United States. With its historical significance and stunning composition, this piece by John Filmer is sure to captivate any admirer of American art or those interested in exploring our nation's past.
