Marked "G.P. 10732, Litho in U.S.A." on the print. This depicts a tranquil mountain valley landscape — a small town with a church nestled among green hills, a stone bridge arching over a creek, snowcapped peaks beyond, wildflowers in the foreground. Reproduced by Great Prints (G.P.), catalog number 10732. Some examples of this print have been found with a cut-out section where a thermometer was once inserted; this one shows no such alteration. New Old Stock, never used. Six available.

A wonderful piece for a landscape print collector, a lover of 19th-century American painting, a farmhouse or country interior, or anyone who wants a quiet, beautiful landscape on their wall.

William Thompson Russell Smith was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1812 and emigrated to America, becoming one of the notable landscape painters of the 19th-century American tradition. This print is attributed to his work based on style and subject, and was reproduced by Great Prints (G.P.), a catalog company that distributed educational and decorative prints for the American advertisement print market.
