EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1857, titled "James River Canal, 1857" showcases the James and Kanawha Canal near the mouth of the North River in Virginia. The canal's construction commenced back in 1785 but unfortunately came to a halt in 1851 before its completion. In this print, we are transported back to the antebellum era of America, where commerce thrived along waterways like the James River. The image depicts an exterior view of the canal with a barge gracefully gliding through its waters. This scene perfectly captures the essence of transportation and trade that once flourished within this region. The lithograph also highlights the stunning natural beauty surrounding this man-made marvel. Situated amidst mountains and valleys, it is clear why this area was chosen for such an ambitious project. The landscape adds depth and character to an already picturesque setting. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing American ingenuity and ambition during a transformative period for our nation's infrastructure development.
