187440423New York: D. Appleton & Co 1874. Steel engraving. 4to 12.¼" X 9". Very good. Faint bit of age toning at edges. A sharp attractive heavy stock steel engraving from the first edition 1872-74 of editor William Cullen Bryant's landmark "Picturesque America; Or The Land We Live In. A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains Rivers Lakes Waterfalls Shores Canyons Valleys Cities and Other Picturesque Features of Our Country" a hefty two-volume study of America's scenery in words and fine steel engraving considered highly influential to American tourism. "Quebec" was engraved by one of this work's most notable engravers Robert Hinshelwood b. 1812 a Scottish-born artist remembered for his landscapes based on a painting by noted landscape artist and illustrator John Douglas Woodward 1846-1924.

Most of the engravings were printed on regular text-weight stock and a much smaller number such as this example on a fine heavy stock. D. Appleton & Co unknown
