EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "New Haven and Vicinity, 1874" by John J. Harley takes us back in time to the enchanting landscapes of Connecticut, USA. The image showcases a collection of scenic wonders that define the region's historic charm. One prominent feature depicted is the Judges Cave, nestled within a deep cleft among large boulders. This cave holds great significance as it served as a hiding place for the famous regicides Goffe and Whalley in 1661. Legend has it that they were forced to flee when startled by the piercing gaze of a wild animal lurking outside their refuge. The surrounding scenery adds to the allure of this photograph. We are treated to breathtaking views from Fort-Hill and West-Rock, offering panoramic vistas over New Haven and its picturesque meadows. The New-Haven Light stands tall against the backdrop of an expansive Atlantic Ocean coastline, guiding ships safely through treacherous waters. John J. Harley's masterful engraving captures not only these natural wonders but also transports us into a world described in William Cullen Bryant's book "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In". Through his artistry, we can appreciate both the beauty of nature and its historical context. This print serves as a testament to our rich heritage and invites us to explore New Haven's past while marveling at its enduring beauty. It is truly an exquisite piece that encapsulates both history enthusiasts' fascination with significant landmarks like Judges Cave and nature lovers' appreciation for stunning landscapes like those found in East-Rock and Meadows.
