EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "River Scene" transports viewers to a serene and picturesque landscape. Created by American artist Bass Otis in the early 19th century, it is considered one of the first American lithographs ever produced. Measuring at just 8.6x11.7 cm, this small yet impactful print captures the essence of a tranquil riverside setting. The scene showcases a beautifully reflected river with its calm waters mirroring the surrounding architecture and lush greenery. The carefully etched lines and intricate details bring life to every element depicted in this artwork. Published in the July issue of Analectic Magazine in 1819, Otis's creation marked an important milestone in American art history. It was followed by his portrait of Rev. Abner Kneeland, which became his first published lithograph just a year prior. Housed within the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection - Jackson Collection of American Lithographs, this print serves as a testament to Otis's talent and contribution to the world of art. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the beauty found within nature's landscapes and how artists like Bass Otis can immortalize them through their craft.
