Salt Sulphur Spring is a 1857 ink by Edward Beyer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet countryside scene with rolling hills and a small village. There are a few buildings—some large, some small—spread across the landscape, surrounded by trees and fenced fields. A winding road cuts through the middle, leading to a cluster of houses near the center. The title at the bottom reads *Salt Sulphur Spring*, and the print looks like it was made using a smooth, layered process. The whole scene feels calm and orderly, like a snapshot of daily life in the 1800s. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
Edward Beyer (1820–1865) was a German landscape painter who was active in the United States and became known for his depiction of the Antebellum South.
