The Catskills, Sunrise from South Mountain, 1874. Creator: Samuel Valentine Hunt
The Catskills, Sunrise from South Mountain, 1874. The Catskill Mountains, part of the larger Appalachian Mountain range, in southeastern New York State, USA. Clustering closely together, these isolated mountains, to which the early Dutch settlers gave the name of " Catskills", approach within eight miles of the river, and, like an advanced bastion of the great rocky wall, command the valley for a considerable distance, and one of the most striking features in the landscape. On the western side, they slope gradually toward the central part of the State of New York, running off into spurs and ridges in every direction. On the eastern, however, they rise abruptly from the valley to a height of more than four thousand feet, resembling, when looked at from the river, a gigantic fist with the palm downward, the peaks representing the knuckles, and the glens and cloves the spaces between them. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]

The Catskills, Sunrise from South Mountain, 1874
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us to the scenic beauty of the Catskill Mountains in southeastern New York State. Taken by Samuel Valentine Hunt, this image showcases the grandeur and commanding presence of these isolated mountains. The Catskills, named by early Dutch settlers, stand like an advanced bastion along the river valley. From a distance, they resemble a giant fist with peaks representing knuckles and glens forming spaces between them. This unique topography makes it one of the most striking features in the landscape. In this particular photograph captured at sunrise from South Mountain, Hunt skillfully captures the ethereal glow as sunlight bathes the rugged peaks. The play of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing effect on both land and sky. As we gaze upon this print from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1874, we are transported back to a time when nature's wonders were immortalized through pen and pencil. Through Hunt's lens, we can appreciate not only his artistic vision but also his ability to capture nature's majesty. This print serves as a timeless reminder of our connection with nature and its ability to inspire awe within us. It invites us to explore these magnificent mountains ourselves or simply bask in their beauty from afar.
