Natural Towers, 1872. Creator: Frederick William Quartley
Natural Towers, 1872. Rock formation in Augusta County, Virginia, USA:the Towers rise straight up from the cultivated field. The illusion is perfect; anyone would mistake them for a ruined work of human hands. No other rocks are visible. From a distance, the ragged peaks of the Towers are transformed almost without an effort of the imagination into crumbling embrasures and machicolations...the resemblance to a feudal ruin, the curtain-wall, with flanking towers, and low, central archway, is exact. It would hardly be a surprise if, issuing from the gateway, a knightly cortege, in glistening helms and hauberks, with pennons flaunting gayly, should file off to the neighboring highway, and proceed to levy toll upon a belated and unprotected wagon-train. 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. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1872]. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Natural Towers, 1872" by Frederick William Quartley transports us to Augusta County, Virginia. The image showcases an extraordinary rock formation that rises majestically from a cultivated field. At first glance, one could easily mistake these natural towers for the remnants of a human-made ruin. With no other rocks in sight, the illusion is perfect. From a distance, the rugged peaks of the towers effortlessly transform into crumbling embrasures and machicolations, evoking images of a medieval fortress in disrepair. The resemblance to a feudal ruin is so exact that it wouldn't be surprising if knights clad in shining helms and hauberks emerged from the central archway and rode off to levy tolls on unsuspecting wagon-trains passing by on nearby highways. This remarkable photograph was featured in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1872. It is part of a larger collection showcasing the beauty and diversity of American landscapes through illustrations created by eminent American artists. Quartley's skillful composition captures not only nature's grandeur but also its ability to mimic human craftsmanship. This print serves as a reminder that even within our cultivated surroundings, there are hidden marvels waiting to be discovered – testaments to both time's passage and nature's artistry.
