Presented in this lot is a Sydney Laurence Northern Pacific Railway Travel Poster Lithograph of "The New Yakima Gateway to Rainier National Park, circa mid-century. Sydney Mortimer Laurence was an American Romantic landscape painter and Alaska's most prominent of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Laurence forged a uniquely personal style by applying the tonalist techniques he had learned in New York and Europe to the wilderness of the North. He, more than any other artist, defined for Alaskans and others the image of Alaska as "the last frontier." The Northern Pacific Railway was a transcontinental railroad that operated across the northern tier of the western United States, from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest. It was approved by Congress in 1864 and given nearly 40 million acres of land grants, which it used to raise money in Europe for construction with the goals of connecting the Great Lakes with Puget Sound on the Pacific, opening vast new lands for farming, ranching, lumbering and mining, and linking Washington and Oregon to the rest of the country.
