When the boat docked, the rough and carefree river boatmen celebrated with irresistible joy! A self-taught narrative artist of the American frontier, Missourian George Bingham chronicled the life and times of the changing landscape of 19th century America. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
