Mission San Gabriel Arcángel 1883

This etching, created by American artist Henry Chapman Ford in 1883, depicts the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel in California. Ford, known for his landscape and architectural etchings, captures the mission's grand scale and the surrounding natural beauty. The composition showcases the mission's facade, with a lone palm tree in the foreground adding a sense of depth and perspective. This detailed print is an excellent example of Ford's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to translate the essence of a place onto paper.
