1872 Madre Mexico Rockies Sierra

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and rugged grandeur of the USA's Sierra Madre Mountains in the Rockies, a range that has long captured the imagination of explorers, settlers, and artists alike. The image, taken in the late 1800s, likely around the year 1872, depicts a scene of untouched natural splendor, with towering peaks shrouded in snow and cloud, their jagged edges piercing the sky. The foreground is dotted with the skeletal remains of trees, their branches twisted and gnarled from the harsh mountain climate. The Sierra Madre Mountains have a rich and complex history, with evidence of human occupation dating back over 12,000 years. The mountains were a major obstacle for early European explorers and settlers, and many famous figures from American history, including John Wesley Powell and John C. Frémont, made their mark on the region through exploration and settlement. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the Sierra Madre Mountains, and serves as a reminder of the rich historical and natural heritage that they represent. It is a poignant reminder of a time when the mountains were still largely untouched by human development, and offers a glimpse into the untamed beauty and raw power of nature. John Huston's classic 1948 film "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," which was set in Mexico and not the location depicted in this photograph, has added to the popular mythology surrounding the Sierra Madre Mountains, but this image offers a different perspective, one that celebrates the raw, untamed beauty of the natural world.
