Richardson in 1872, this image showcases the breathtaking beauty of Glen Creek falls as it cascades through the gorge at Watkins Glen, New York State. At that time, Watkins Glen State Reservation had been open to the public for almost a decade and was already established as a popular tourist destination. In this snapshot of history, visitors can be seen bravely ascending steep steps along the gorge, eager to witness nature's wonders up close. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable.
