EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Washington's rich history and breathtaking natural beauty. The image showcases Steilacoom Barracks, a significant military stronghold in the Pacific Northwest during the mid-19th century. Built to safeguard against Indian attacks, Fort Steilacoom stands tall as one of the earliest U. S. forts north of the Columbia River. The artist, William Birch McMurtrie, skillfully depicts this historic landmark amidst a stunning landscape dominated by Mount Rainier. The majestic mountain serves as a backdrop to both fort and barracks, creating an awe-inspiring scene that exemplifies the grandeur of nature. McMurtrie's watercolor technique beautifully brings out every detail - from the intricate architectural features of Steilacoom Barracks to the lush pine trees surrounding it. The painting perfectly captures a moment frozen in time, allowing us to glimpse into America's past. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded not only of our nation's military heritage but also of its vast natural wonders. Mount Rainier National Park is renowned for its pristine wilderness and diverse ecosystems, making it an iconic symbol of Washington state. This print is truly a testament to both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's splendor. It invites us to appreciate our country's historical significance while marveling at its extraordinary landscapes – reminding us why these treasures must be cherished and protected for generations to come.
