A View of the Natural Bridge in Virginia

After Baron D. Turpin

Dated 1787

Copperplate engraving, published in the Columbia Magazine

8″ H; 10″ W

 

One of the Chastellux images was almost immediately appropriated by an American publication, the Columbia Magazine, in 1787.

 

Provenance: The Thomas A. Gray Collection

The Estate Collection of Dr. & Mrs. R. Lewis Wright

 

WHY WE LOVE IT: This is one of the earliest views of Natural Bridge that was shared across Europe. If you look carefully, you will see both Indigenous Americans and Europeans in the image.
