From the Wichita Falls Museum of Art:
“Wilderness Passing: The Hudson River Portfolio, 1820–1825 highlights one of the most important early American etching books produced in the 19th century. The portfolio was published to help make people aware of the beauty of the American landscape and to stimulate a sense of national identity, like the early novels of James Fennimore Cooper, short stories of Washington Irving, and poetry of William Cullen Bryant, all of whom will be presented in dialogue with the artworks on display.
-Dr. Todd Giles, Professor of English, guest Curator”
