Description

This color lithograph, titled "The Indians Look-Out," presents a beautifully illustrated view of a riverside scene, featuring a tall point of rocks on the left and a canoe with Native Americans, including one firing at waterfowl with a rifle, in the river itself. The image is taken from the first edition of "Das Illustrirte Mississippithal," a remarkable early color plate book of the Mississippi region, which Streeter called "the great early color plate book of the Mississippi region." The lithograph was created by H. Lewis and produced by the Lith. Inst. Arnz. & Co. Dusseldorf, capturing the essence of the landscape and the Native American life during the period.

The scene showcases the vibrant natural beauty of the river valley, with the tall rocky outcrop serving as a striking visual element. The Native Americans in the canoe demonstrate their hunting prowess, providing an insight into their daily life and activities. The landscape is portrayed in vivid colors, capturing the charm and allure of the riverside environment.

In addition to "The Indians Look-Out," the book featured other notable locations along the Mississippi, such as St. Louis, St. Paul, Dubuque, Vicksburg, Natchez, and Baton Rouge, as well as scenes of urban life in cities like Bellevue, Iowa, and Alton, Illinois. This rare and visually stunning work offers a unique historical perspective on the Mississippi region, its natural beauty, and the diverse communities that inhabited the area during the early 19th century.
