About this work

This print shows a quiet hillside scene with a winding road and a few small buildings. A round, white-roofed pavilion sits near the center, surrounded by trees. The hills roll gently in the background, and a few people walk along the path. The title at the bottom reads *Red Sulphur Spring*, hinting this might be a place known for its springs. The image looks like it was made from a printed drawing, not painted by hand. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
