Cathedral Rock - Side-view, 1872. Creator: William Ludwell Sheppard
Cathedral Rock - Side-view, 1872. Rock formation reminiscent of a cathedral, West Virginia, USA: we may vary the scene indefinitely by changing position. Thus, from a point a little higher and more distant, the stupendous height of the spire is more manifest, while a movement to the right develops a second group of pinnacles behind the first, and the change of perspective invests the whole scene with a wilder and more unearthly character. 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. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1872]. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
