EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cleopatra's Needle and Anthony's Pillar" takes us back to the year 1872 in Weyers Cave, Virginia. The image showcases the remarkable rock formations found within what would later be known as the Grand Caverns in the town of Grottoes. Harry Fenn, a renowned American artist, beautifully captures the subterranean wonders of this underground landscape through his skillful wood engraving. Stalactites and stalagmites gracefully hang from above or rise from below, creating an awe-inspiring sight that transports viewers into a hidden world beneath our feet. The composition not only highlights nature's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration. As we gaze upon Cleopatra's Needle and Anthony's Pillar, we are reminded of ancient civilizations' fascination with these geological marvels. Taken from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant, this print is part of a larger collection that sought to depict America's natural beauty using both pen and pencil illustrations. It offers us a glimpse into the country during the nineteenth century when travel was limited yet still celebrated. Today, these magnificent caves continue to attract tourists who seek adventure and wonderment. This historical photograph invites us to appreciate not only their grandeur but also their significance as enduring symbols of geological heritage in Virginia, United States.
