LIVING & WORKING ON RAFTS ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph 1882 Page of History with Wood-Engraved Illustration TITLE: THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER The river was much more difficult to navigate then, full of rapids, islands, shifting sandbars, fallen trees, and shallow stretches—hence the calls of “mark twain.” “Along the Upper Mississippi every hour brings something new,” Twain told the Chicago Tribune in 1886. “There are crowds of odd islands, bluffs, prairies, hills, woods and villages—everything one could desire to amuse the children.” Farmers and local tradesmen used the river to transport goods.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
