Chicago Lake, 1874. Creator: Thomas Moran
Chicago Lake, 1874. View of Mount Evans, the highest peak in the Mount Evans Wilderness, Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA. Chicago Lakes lie at the foot of Mount Rosalie, still farther south, and are the source of Chicago Creek. They are high upon the mountain, at the verge of the timber-line, and that shown in Mr. Morans picture has an elevation of nearly twelve thousand feet above the level of the sea. Mount Rosalie [later renamed Mount Evans], ridged with snow, and very rugged in appearance, terminates two thousand two hundred feet higher. 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]

Chicago Lake, 1874 - A Majestic View of Mount Evans in the Rocky Mountains
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Thomas Moran takes us back to the year 1874, showcasing a breathtaking landscape that is sure to leave viewers in awe. The image depicts Chicago Lake, nestled at the foot of Mount Rosalie (later renamed Mount Evans), which stands as the highest peak in the Mount Evans Wilderness of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. With its dramatic snow-capped peaks and rugged terrain, this remote location exudes a sense of grandeur and untouched beauty. Moran's skillful engraving brings out every intricate detail, from the towering mountains to the rocky shores of Chicago Lake. The lake itself sits high upon the mountain, close to timber-line at an elevation of nearly twelve thousand feet above sea level. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can almost feel the cold mountain air and imagine ourselves standing amidst nature's splendor. This print not only captures a specific moment but also serves as a testament to America's vast and diverse landscapes during the 19th century. Thomas Moran was one of many talented artists featured in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. Through their work, they aimed to showcase America's natural wonders and inspire appreciation for its unique geography. This historical print allows us to travel back through time and experience firsthand both Moran's artistic brilliance and Mother Nature's awe-inspiring creations.
