Note: John Banvard is well known for his work creating vast landscapes that were manipulated into crowd pleasing, awe inspiring panoramic narratives. At the height of his fame, he presented a three mile long canvas to viewers from New York to London, entitled Adventures of the Artist, it depicted a voyage down the mighty Mississippi River. While decidedly smaller in scale, At River's Bend is a prime example of his skill depicting the vastness of the open land in mid-19th century America.
