EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the late 19th century showcases the breathtaking beauty of Petersburg Gap in West Virginia.

Petersburg Gap is nestled within this picturesque landscape, providing an inviting passage through which one can explore further into West Virginia's natural wonders. The gap serves as a gateway to adventure, beckoning travelers to discover what lies beyond its rocky embrace. A prominent feature in this wood engraving is the Potomac River, meandering gracefully through the mountainscape. Its tranquil waters add an element of serenity and harmony to an already stunning vista. As we gaze upon this artwork, we cannot help but be reminded of our connection with nature and how it has shaped our history and culture over centuries. This piece serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in capturing such scenes on paper and Mother Nature's ability to inspire awe and wonder.
