DESCRIPTION: Edward Beyer, a German artist, spent nearly a decade traveling through Virginia between 1848 and 1857. During his time in America, he produced a series of detailed on-site paintings documenting the Commonwealth’s famous mountain spas, growing towns, and rural scenery. This 1857 lithograph of Yellow Sulphur Springs in Montgomery County was part of the resulting "Album of Virginia," a project Beyer took back to Germany to be professionally lithographed by W. Loeillot in Berlin and Rau & Son in Dresden. These prints remain some of the most accurate and celebrated visual records of the Virginia landscape in the years immediately preceding the Civil War, capturing the elegance and layout of the great Southern resorts at their peak.
