The Passaic Below the Falls, 1874. Creator: Alfred Harral
The Passaic Below the Falls, 1874. Footbridge over the Passaic River, New Jersey, USA. The river here flows pleasantly past many thriving towns and hamlets, giving of its tide to turn the wheels of industry here and there, spanned by bridges of many forms and purposes, from the elaborate iron arch of the railway to the rude rusticity of the wooden foot-bridge. 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]

The Passaic Below the Falls, 1874 - A Glimpse into 19th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alfred Harral takes us back to the enchanting landscape of New Jersey in 1874. The Passaic River gracefully flows beneath a picturesque footbridge, showcasing the harmonious coexistence between nature and industry during this era. As we gaze upon this scene, we witness the river's vital role in powering the wheels of nearby thriving towns and hamlets. Its tranquil waters provide both sustenance and energy for various industries that dot its banks. Bridges of different forms span across its width, symbolizing human ingenuity from rustic wooden foot-bridges to elaborate iron arches supporting railway tracks. Harral's engraving captures not only the physical beauty but also the essence of life along this historic waterway. The rock formations surrounding the rapids add a touch of ruggedness to an otherwise serene setting, reminding us of nature's untamed spirit. This artwork is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. Through their collaboration with eminent American artists like Harral, they sought to depict America's diverse landscapes using pen and pencil illustrations on steel and wood. The print serves as a window into a time when industry was emerging alongside untouched natural wonders. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with our environment while appreciating how humans have harnessed nature's resources for progress throughout history.
