Pencil sketch of the Yukon River, by Adelbert Bartlett. Here, what looks like an eclipsed sun is depicted above a mountain range, its reflection shown in the waters at foreground. Glaciers stand in the background at right, while clouds form overhead on the left.
Two color sketches representing the Yukon River’s varied landscapes at sunset. At top: The sun sets over the Yukon River, its rays radiating to the image edge and illuminating the floodplain at foreground. Bottom: Bartlett continues to manipulate the natural landscape, placing white glaciers at foreground while manipulating the sky above - here comprised of blue, green and pink color bands. A deep fuchsia ribbon floats in from above and out to the left of the image. Adelbert Bartlett, artist.

Two color sketches representing the Yukon River’s varied landscapes at sunrise by Adelbert Bartlett. At top: Bartlett manipulates the natural landscape, placing white glaciers at foreground while incorporating blue, green and pink bands of color in the sky above. A pinkish-red ribbon floats in from above and out to the right of the image. Bottom: The sun rises above the Yukon River, its rays radiating to the image edge and illuminating the floodplain at foreground.
Two color sketches representing the Yukon River’s varied landscapes. At top: a red sky is permeated by the sun’s rays radiating from behind a mountain range along the Yukon River. Bottom: Bartlett continues to manipulate the natural landscape, placing an undulating green string strung with hanging fibers (possibly) through an otherwise naturalistic sky. Below the sky sits a landscape of flat plains and distant mountains. Adelbert Bartlett, artist.
Two color sketches representing the Yukon River’s varied landscapes. At top: Bartlett manipulates the natural landscape, creating a sky of dark and light green bands of color. A red ribbon floats in from above and out to the left of the image. The band is highlighted with violet. The pink and violet tines from above are reflected in the glaciers below. Bottom: The sun rises in a purple-hewn sky above the Yukon River, its red and gold rays radiating to the image edge and illuminating the floodplain at foreground. Adelbert Bartlett, artist.
