AMERICA’S RIVER OF CHAMPIONS<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Few parcels of American terrain possess a richer palimpsest of enterprise, memory and desire than that stretch of the Schuylkill River between East Falls and Fairmount Dam. Its waterworks provided the city with a safer source of drinking water, and a Neoclassical bucket-list destination for tourists. Malarial swamps were buried under broad esplanades. Parklands cobbled together from colonial estates protected the water-supply from industrial polluters. Flat water above Fairmount dam gave amateur rowers an ideal venue for training and competition, while inspiring artists from Birch and Calyo to Eakins and beyond. <\/span><\/h4>\n

In 2017-18, noted author and artist James Lancel McElhinney<\/strong><\/a> filled his painting-journal with views along the river, which formed the centerpiece of an installation at Independence Seaport Museum at Philadelphia’s Penns’ Landing. Seven of those images were published as a fine press limited edition<\/a><\/strong>. Those views and and more are now being unpacked by Needlewatcher Editions as individual archival pigment prints in the spirit of expeditionary & Grand Tour loose-sheets and bookplates, at a price accessible to most buyers. <\/span><\/h4>\n
