DESCRIPTION: From Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, edited by William Cullen Bryant and published between 1872 and 1874. This majestic view captures Mount Hood, the highest peak in Oregon, rising dramatically above the surrounding landscape. Located in the Cascade Range, the snow-capped summit dominates the horizon, symbolizing the grandeur and still-wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest. In the valley below, a small group of Native Americans can be seen, their presence grounding the scene in the cultural and historical realities of the region. The engraving conveys both the serene isolation and towering presence of the mountain, reflecting the awe with which 19th-century Americans viewed the western frontier.
