Information: This
painting of the Portage Bridge is based on a lithograph
found in the museum at Letchworth Park NY and a oil painting

This
theorem is adaptation of the Portage Bridge created by artist
Nancy Rosier.
This painting is done on a cotton velveteen fabric, in oil,
with the use of a stencil. This process is called theorem
painting which is a true American Folk Art. Theorems were
very popular between 1810 & 1860.
The frame is gold but is also offered in a grained frames.
This
theorem is very special for Nancy & Bill Rosier since
this is where they got engaged many years ago.

Portage
Bridge Theorem Adaptation
of Oil Painting found at Colonial Williamsburg
(New)
This
theorem is an adaptation of a Portage
Bridge lithograph by Onken's Lithograph company, 1853,
painted by Ed Bayer. The museum at Letchworth
Park NY describes this lithograph as follows - One
spring day in 1858, a steam train slowly approached ahuge
bridge six miles from the town of Nunda. Spanning the
gorge between Wyoming & Livingston counties, the wooden
spider web appeared suspended in air, 234 feet above the
Genesee River. The train slowed down for the bridge and
Letchworth hopped off to explore the gorge for the first
time. This Lithograph print shows the bridge before it
burned in 1875.
