Bellows Falls, 1874. Creator: John Filmer
Bellows Falls, 1874. The Tucker Toll Bridge over the Connecticut River at Bellows Falls, Vermont, USA. Bellows Falls...is well known as the stopping-place of the railways, and, to some extent, a place of summer resort. The falls, which give the chief charm to the place, are a succession of rapids in the Connecticut [River]. These rapids extend not far from a mile along the base of a high and precipitous hill...which bears the name of Fall Mountain. 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 focal point of the image is the Tucker Toll Bridge, gracefully spanning over the Connecticut River. This bridge served as a vital connection for both locals and travelers passing through this picturesque region. Bellows Falls itself was renowned as a popular stop for railways during that era, attracting visitors seeking respite from bustling city life. Its natural beauty was enhanced by the magnificent falls that stretched almost a mile along Fall Mountain's base. These rapids added an enchanting touch to the landscape, creating a cataract-like effect.
