Moss Islands, in the Juniata, 1874. Creator: W. H. Morse
Moss Islands, in the Juniata, 1874. Islands on the Juniata River, Pennsylvania, USA. The stream is not broad, but tolerably deep, and abounding in fish, which rise every moment at the flies that hover over the placid surface. Between here and Perryville the river is full of beautiful islands, covered with trees whose branches sweep down to the ground and often hide the bank. With the branches are interlaced wild-vines, with huge leaves; and between them the golden-rod, and the big yellow daisy, and the large-leaved fern, make their appearance. In the low parts of these islands there are beautiful mosses, and a species of water-grass which becomes a deep orange in circular patches. 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
This print titled "Moss Islands, in the Juniata, 1874" by W. H. Morse transports us to a serene and enchanting scene on the Juniata River in Pennsylvania, USA. The river may not be wide, but it boasts a decent depth and teems with an abundance of fish that eagerly rise to catch the flies dancing above its placid surface. Between Moss Islands and Perryville lies a stretch of this picturesque river adorned with stunning islands. These islands are adorned with lush trees whose branches gracefully sweep down to conceal the banks from view. Nature's artistry is further enhanced as wild vines intricately interlace themselves among these branches, their large leaves adding another layer of beauty. Amidst this verdant landscape, vibrant bursts of color emerge. Golden-rod flowers sway gently alongside big yellow daisies while large-leaved ferns unfurl their delicate fronds. In the lower parts of these islands lie patches of beautiful mosses that add texture and charm to the surroundings. One cannot help but be captivated by the circular patches of deep orange water-grass that dot these low-lying areas like nature's own masterpieces. This remarkable photograph captures not only the natural splendor found along the Juniata River but also serves as a testament to William Cullen Bryant's vision in his book "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In". Through Morse's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand this breathtaking corner of American wilderness preserved forever on paper for all generations to admire and cherish.
