Cereus giganteus, Arizona, 1871
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating albumen print captured by the talented photographer Tim O'Sullivan. This photograph is part of the renowned album titled "Geographical & Geological Explorations & Surveys West of the 100th Meridian, vol. 2" which showcases America's natural wonders during the 19th century. In this mesmerizing image, we are transported to the arid landscapes of Arizona in all its desert glory. The focal point of the composition is a magnificent Cereus giganteus, commonly known as saguaro cactus, standing tall against an expansive backdrop. Its towering presence symbolizes resilience and adaptability amidst harsh conditions. O'Sullivan's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of nature but also highlights scientific exploration and geographical features that were crucial during Lieutenant George Montague Wheeler's surveying expeditions. Through his lens, O'Sullivan captures both artistry and documentation simultaneously. As we gaze upon this heritage artwork at Art Institute Chicago's gallery or art center, it serves as a reminder of our country's rich history and diverse geography. The monochromatic tones evoke a sense of timelessness while emphasizing the intricate patterns found within nature itself. This photograph invites us to contemplate our connection with the natural world and marvel at its beauty even in seemingly inhospitable environments like deserts. It stands as a testament to Timothy H. O'Sullivan's mastery behind the camera lens and his contribution to American photography during this era.
