The Dalles of St. Louis,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating 19th century graphite, stumping in areas and pen and black ink heightened with white drawing by Alfred Waud, offers an intriguing glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of St. Louis, Missouri, and the United States. Waud, a renowned American artist, skillfully depicted the rapids, or "dalles," of the St. Louis River, a significant geographical feature that once posed a formidable challenge to early explorers and settlers. The drawing showcases the dynamic interplay between the powerful, rushing water and the tranquil landscape, with trees and plants clinging to the rocky banks. The monochrome palette, achieved through the use of graphite and ink, adds to the timeless and evocative quality of the work. The Dalles of St. Louis was a crucial location in the history of the United States, serving as a gateway to the west and a hub for trade and commerce. This drawing, with its meticulous attention to detail and nuanced depiction of the natural world, serves as a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the time. Today, "The Dalles of St. Louis" can be found in the prestigious collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The drawing invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the beauty of nature, and consider the enduring power of art as a means of preserving history and culture.
