Ascending the Ocklawaha River at Night, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the enchanting swamps of Florida in the late 19th century. The image, created by Frederick William Quartley, captures a steamboat navigating through the mysterious and sinister beauty of the Ocklawaha River. As darkness envelops the landscape, eerie shadows dance among towering cypress trees and lush vegetation. The steamboat's glowing lights pierce through the night, casting an ethereal glow on its surroundings. It is as if this vessel has ventured into a realm where time stands still and nature reigns supreme. The presence of an alligator lurking in the water adds to the exotic allure of this scene. Its primal gaze reminds us that we are mere visitors in this untamed wilderness. Quartley's masterful engraving skillfully conveys both awe and trepidation, inviting viewers to contemplate their place within such a majestic yet foreboding environment. This print was originally featured in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant - a literary work that sought to celebrate America's natural wonders through artistry and prose. Quartley's contribution exemplifies his ability to capture not only physical landscapes but also evoke emotions tied to our relationship with nature. Today, this print serves as a testament to both historical documentation and artistic expression. It allows us to glimpse into an era when exploration was met with wonderment and danger alike – reminding us of our enduring fascination with untamed frontiers.
