EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating book cover transports us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century California. Emmanuel Wyttenbach's exquisite lithograph, part of an Illustrated Tourist Guide, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the state's renowned summer and winter resorts. The focal point is a majestic Sequoiadendron Giganteum, commonly known as a giant redwood or Wellingtonia, standing tall amidst a picturesque countryside. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this iconic American tree, with its colossal size and striking presence. Surrounding it are colorful wildflowers that add a touch of whimsy to the scene, evoking feelings of tranquility and natural abundance. In the distance, we glimpse a stagecoach traversing through winding roads—a testament to both adventure and convenience for those seeking exploration in this vast land. Wyttenbach's artwork not only serves as an invitation for tourists but also pays homage to California's rich flora and fauna. It reminds us of the allure that drew people from all corners of America to these idyllic vacation spots during that era. This lithograph stands as a testament to Wyttenbach's talent in capturing nature's grandeur while simultaneously immortalizing an important chapter in American history. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this print continues to inspire wanderlust among visitors who appreciate both artistry and historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Emmanuel Wyttenbach, we can almost hear whispers from another time beckoning us on
