DESCRIPTION: From Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, edited by William Cullen Bryant and published between 1872 and 1874. This striking view captures The Three Sisters, a trio of volcanic peaks in the Cascade Range of central Oregon, their snow-capped summits rising in majestic sequence above the surrounding wilderness. In the valley below, a small group of Native Americans can be seen, their presence offering a quiet acknowledgment of the region's original inhabitants and the deep cultural history embedded in the landscape. The engraving reflects the awe and reverence with which 19th-century Americans regarded the dramatic beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
