One of the most famous images depicting Arkansas is that of the painting by Edward P. Washbourne titled “Arkansas Traveler.” Completed in 1856, the painting was rendered for public consumption as a lithograph by J. H. Buford of Boston, Massachusetts, in 1859. Through the years, the lithograph has been reprinted many times, making it one of the most recognizable images associated with Arkansas.
