Lithographs, 1850s-1889.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/742640497

Artificial collection of lithographs from published sources. The first five lithographs in the collection are images of Spokane homes, removed from History of the Pacific Northwest Oregon and Washington, published in 1889. These are done by unknown artists. The remainder of the lithographs are from the U. S. P. R. R. Surveys and created by John Mix Stanley and Gustavus Sohon. They were taken from the twelfth volume of the 1860 War Department Reports of Explorations and Surveys. They represent some of the earliest published images of the Northwest. These lithographs illustrate the region's landmarks as well as scenes showing the region's Indians. A few of the illustrations show early white settlement or missionary activities.
