Longs Peak, from Estes Park, 1874. Creator: John Karst
Longs Peak, from Estes Park, 1874. View of Longs Peak in the Rocky Mountains, from Estes Park, Colorado, USA. Early in May we are far north, with a detachment of the Hayden expedition, encamped in the Estes Park, or Valley. Park, by-the-way, is used in these regions as a sort of variation on the sweeter-sounding word. The night is deepening as we pitch our tents. We are at the base of Longs Peak - about half-way between Denver City and the boundary-line of Wyoming - and can only dimly see its clear-cut out-line and graceful crests, as the last hues of sunset fade and depart. 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]

Longs Peak, from Estes Park, 1874 - A Majestic Glimpse into the Untamed American Wilderness
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the year 1874, offering a breathtaking view of Longs Peak in the Rocky Mountains. Taken by John Karst during his time with the Hayden expedition, this image captures the raw beauty and untamed nature of Estes Park in Colorado, USA. As dusk settles over the landscape, we find ourselves at the base of Longs Peak - a towering presence between Denver City and Wyoming's boundary-line. The clear-cut outline and graceful crests of this majestic mountain are dimly visible as they blend into the fading hues of sunset. The photograph is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. This literary work aimed to depict America's natural wonders through pen and pencil illustrations created by eminent American artists like Thomas Moran. In this particular engraving by John Karst, we witness a harmonious convergence of mountains, rivers, trees, rocks - elements that define both its geographical features and its untouched wilderness. It serves as a reminder that even amidst human progress and industrialization in the late 19th century America, there were still vast stretches where nature reigned supreme. Karst's skillful composition invites viewers to immerse themselves in this unspoiled panorama while evoking a sense of awe for Mother Nature's grandeur. This historic print stands as an enduring testament to our nation's rich landscapes and serves as an inspiration for future generations to appreciate and protect these precious natural treasures.
