EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the rugged beauty of Cape Horn in 1872. Captured by the talented photographer John Filmer, this image showcases a basalt cliff outcrop along the Columbia River in Washington, USA. The majestic ramparts rise like a vast columnar wall, reaching heights of up to seven hundred feet. The photograph is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" an esteemed volume edited by William Cullen Bryant and published by D. Appleton and Company in New York. This book aimed to depict the natural wonders of America through detailed illustrations on steel and wood created by eminent American artists. Filmer's skillful engraving transports us to this awe-inspiring location where nature's grandeur is on full display. The intricate rock formation stands as a testament to the power and timelessness of geological processes. Its imposing presence against the backdrop of the Columbia River evokes a sense of both wonder and respect for our country's diverse landscapes. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded not only of Filmer's artistic talent but also his contribution to documenting America's natural heritage during the 19th century. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst modernization, there are still places where nature reigns supreme – just like Cape Horn did over one hundred years ago.
