Description
AKIN, Louis Benton (1868-1913).
El Tovar.
Chromolithograph.
W. J. Black, 1906.
7 3/4" x 15 1/2" sheet, 12" x 20" framed.
Louis Benton was born in Oregon but trained in New York before settling in Arizona, whose climate beguiled and healed him. The present item is perhaps Akin's most famous: the El Tovar hotel, designed by Charles Frederick Whittlesey, which had opened the year before and still operates today. Along the path leading to the hotel are Hopi figures approaching the hotel. The Grand Canyon, viewed here from the South Rim, receded into the distance, dissolving into atmospheric perspective.
