Ice Glen, Stockbridge, 1874. Creator: John J. Harley
Ice Glen, Stockbridge, 1874. Artist sketching in a ravine near Stockbridge, Massachusetts, USA. A mile or more from the village is found that wonder of Nature, the Ice Glen, which pierces the northern spur of Bear Mountain; and in its long and awsome corridors and crypts, formed by massive and gloomy rocks, and huge but prostrate trees, the explorer may find masses of ice in the heart and heat of midsummer. The passage of this glen, though not perilous, requires nerve and patience, and the cheer of glowing torches withal. 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]

EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of a hidden natural wonder in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. In this print by John J. Harley, we are transported to a ravine where an artist is immersed in his craft. The rugged beauty of Bear Mountain's northern spur is brought to life through massive rocks and fallen trees that form long corridors and crypts. What makes Ice Glen truly remarkable is its ability to preserve ice even during the scorching heat of midsummer. As we explore this awe-inspiring glen alongside the artist, we can almost feel the chill emanating from its icy heart. Navigating through this enchanting passage requires both nerve and patience, as well as the comforting glow of torches illuminating our way. Harley's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of this scene. From the intricate engravings on steel and wood by eminent American artists featured in "Picturesque America" edited by William Cullen Bryant, to the carefully depicted clothing and accessories worn by men in 19th-century attire - it all adds depth and authenticity to this snapshot frozen in time. This print serves as a testament not only to nature's extraordinary power but also to human creativity and perseverance. It reminds us that amidst our bustling lives, there are still hidden gems waiting for us to discover just beyond our comfort zones.
