Additional Information
Produced and illustrated by American artist and lithographer Eli Glover, this stunning birds-eye perspective of Walla Walla depicts the town in a period of significant growth and transformation as the nation approached the turn of the century. Glover was a pioneer in this style which was widely popular during the late nineteenth century and served to promote prominent civic features to attract residents and merchants alike. Glover’s works bear a signature style and distinct aesthetic that make them immediately recognizable and transport the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present.
Walla Walla was first settled in 1817 with the foundation of Fort Nez Perce, which was established by fur traders on what would become the Washington and Oregon border. The region is characterized by rolling valleys with creeks and pastoral beauty. While the economy remained predominantly agricultural, the area became known recently for its wine production, which was started in the 1970s and has grown into a thriving industry with over one hundred and twenty wineries and vineyards in the surrounding areas.
Walla Walla is also known for the federally protected and designated sweet onion, which was brought from Corsica more than one hundred years ago and has become one of the symbols of the city. Glover’s incredible attention to detail and the inclusion of notable buildings preserve the memory of this town during the late nineteenth century. This is truly an authentic piece of American cartographical history by one of the most noted artist\s.
