That Would Do Credit to
Any Country.
AS each year goes by the interest at
taching to the Great Salt Lake increases
to a marked degree, and this interest is
bound to be intensified still further as
its many beauties become known. The
HERALD, of late, has contained several
accounts of cruises made on the lake,
AID descriptions of some of the many
points of interest on and among the
numerous islands that are surrounded
by the salty waves. Prominent among
those who have taken q great interest
in our inland sea-mOre particularly
from professional point Of view is
Mr.. Alfred Lambourne, the well-known
artist. and as a result of his recent
cruises on, and visits the shores of,
the lake. five large and elegant paintings
of scenes from different points OF view
now adorn his studio. One Of the most
striking of these is
WHITE Rock BAY,
the sketch of which was made during
the recent Cruise Of the Cambria" 1t
shows with pleasing effect stretch Of
the northwest coast of Antelope
Island. with the Elephants Head cliff
away in the distance. The White Rocks
are N the near water from which are
flying large flock of the familiar sea-
gulls.' The Cambria is hove to in the
bay, and her white sails, with the figure
OLA man at the helm, add pleasing
effect 20 WAT must ever be a VeRy pop
ular picture. lt was painted Tor Mr..
Duncan McAliister, one of the pas
sengers Of the Cambria, and IS an ex-
cellent and faithful reprs sentation Of
the subject.
''MooSRIsE on THE LAKE"
This view is taken from Fremont's
Island. and is very beautiful combin-
alton. Away in the distance is the
Wasatch Range, with the hszy at
mosphere peculiar to it. Antelope
Island forms the middle distance, and
gives q faint glimpse of the white rocks
from which the bay referred 70 above
takes its name. Picturesque rocks and
foliage form the foreground, and over
these is seen one of the loyeliest little
bays in the entire lake. On the beautiful!
sandy beach, which is nearly the shape
OF a crescent, are the cabins OF Mr..
Wenner, and near them tbs white sails
of the Cambria again loom up. The
artist has been very happy in his selec-
ton of a view. which must find great
favor with all who have the pleasure of
gazing upon it.
SUNSET on THE LAKE"
This picture is taken from a point near
Black Rock, and includes a view of the
bathing resorts, and the shore line i'm
mediately TO the east and away to the
west. This has been done by the same
artist before, and TO one unacquainted
with the beautiful, and at times wierd
brilliant and fantastic sunsets at this
quarter, il may be thought extravagant.
The entire western sky is lit up with a
brilliancy that is almost startling in its
effect, the declining sun gliding the
gathering clouds, and throwing a
bright pathway across the lake. The
subject is admirably handled. and viii
doubtless find favor with the public.
Is a gem that should immediately I'm
a purchaser. In the foreground. group
OF boats, prominent among them tie
Mabel Darts; a lazy little swell Is COM
ing in on the shore. while a
light breeze gently ripples the
surface OF the Lake. In the mid
die distance is Antelope Island, and
away to the northwest is the Wasatch
Range. The heecy clouds in a beautiful
sky lend much to the attractiveness OF
the whole. There is
ASoTHER OF THE SAME vIEw,
but taken under entirely opposite cir
cumstances. It is faithful reproduc-
ton of the storm on the night of the
18th of June last, the date of Boyton's
visit here. The lake is rough and tenn
pestuous, huge breakers rolling in and
dashing angrily on the shore. On the
crest OF wave, over which The white
foam is madly breaking, Is the little
steamer, Susie Ritter, and to the right
the Nabel DdUiS is thrown away up on
the shore. Pieces of q wreck are streWn
along the shore, and still further away
the waves dash wildly over Black Rock
Approaching darkness lends sombre
effect TO the picture, which viii delight
/ all who have a love for nature in her
widest moods. 1t is an excellent com
panion picture to the preceding one
mentioned, and shows the lake IN Wild
and furious action, in direct contrast %
/ its companion piece
It's the intention Of Mr.. Lambourne
I TO place the entire five pictures on public
exhibition in few days, and they should
be seen by all who wish to become better
acquainted with some Of the many
/ beautiful and picturesque spots that lie
right at our very doors.
