Salmon Cove, Observatory Inlet, 1798
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor print by William Alexander that offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and cultural significance of the North Pacific Ocean in the late 18th century. The artwork was created as part of George Vancouver's exploration expedition, serving as an illustration for his book "A Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean". In this particular scene, we are transported to Salmon Cove, located near Portland Canal. The painting showcases a picturesque view of mountains towering over a marshy inlet with various watercraft peacefully anchored in the cove. Along the shore, white structures catch our attention, perhaps representing settlements or trading posts. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the stunning landscape but also provides insight into indigenous peoples' way of life during that time. This drawing was sketched by Thomas Heddington under Alexander's guidance. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that it captures more than just nature; it encapsulates discovery and exploration at its core. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our innate desire to understand and connect with new environments. Through "Salmon Cove". Alexander invites us on an immersive journey through time—a voyage filled with awe-inspiring landscapes, native cultures intertwined with nature's wonders—reminding us of the rich history embedded within these lands.
