Additional Details

The print has very wide margins but bears no imprint or title, suggesting that it may be a Proof-before-Letters. The painting after which this print is taken was shown in both America and England in conjunction with an exhibition of South American botanical specimens. It secured Church's fame and is still considered to be his masterpiece.
