EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "U. S. Coast Survey. . . Sketch of Anapaca Island in Santa Barbara Channel, 1854-57" transports us back to the gilded age of America in the 19th century. Created by renowned artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, along with John Young and Charles Knight, this print showcases their exceptional talent for capturing the beauty of coastal landscapes. The image depicts Anacapa Island, located off the coast of Ventura County in California. The rugged rock formations and natural arches stand proudly against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, showcasing the raw power and majesty of nature. This lithograph was part of a series produced by Whistler during his collaboration with the U. S. Coast Survey. Whistler's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he effortlessly captures both geographical features and cultural heritage within this piece. The lithotint technique used adds depth and texture to the scene, enhancing its overall impact. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today at The Met museum, we are transported to a time when exploration and surveying played a crucial role in understanding our country's vast coastline. It serves as a reminder not only of our nation's rich maritime history but also highlights Whistler's mastery as an artist.
