Sunset On The Columbia Portland Oregon boulderer_poster American Scenery: The Inn on

American Scenery: The Inn on the Roadside 1872 is a documentary engraving of a wayside tavern at the height of the Grant years

and inland-empire pines framing the lot where travelers idled on the run between Seattle and the Rockies

and river bends rendered in soft linen ink

the sun sinking past Tillamook Head while the Promenade's boardwalk catches the last gilded light and breakers roll silver across the long sand
