Scenes in and about Milford, 1874. Creator: John Douglas Woodward
Scenes in and about Milford, 1874. The Raymondskill; in The Glen; The Sawkill, Connecticut, USA. Some distance below the village of Milford, we reach the falls of the Raymondskill...The torrent tumbles from among a mass of foliage down a rock, and is broken several times by projections, which cause it to surge and foam in a grand tumult...here in Milford Glen, on a summers afternoon and evening, young men and maidens flock, and wander, arm-in-arm, through the narrow paths and murky hollows...farther north are the principal falls of the Sawkill...the water dashes against some projecting rocks in its downward course, and is broken into clouds of spray, which the sunshine colors with rainbow hues. 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 photo print, titled "Scenes in and about Milford, 1874" takes us on a visual journey through the picturesque landscapes of Milford, Connecticut. Created by the talented John Douglas Woodward, this image captures the essence of nature's beauty in its purest form. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the breathtaking Raymondskill Falls. As we gaze upon it, we witness an awe-inspiring sight - water cascading down from lush foliage-covered rocks. The falls are interrupted by jutting projections that create a magnificent display of surging water and foaming tumult. It is as if nature itself has orchestrated a grand symphony for our eyes to behold. Moving beyond the falls, we find ourselves immersed in Milford Glen - a hidden gem where young men and maidens gather on summer afternoons and evenings. Arm-in-arm they wander through narrow paths and murky hollows, enchanted by their surroundings. Continuing northward along our visual expedition, we encounter another natural wonder: the principal falls of Sawkill. Here, rushing waters collide with projecting rocks creating clouds of spray that glisten with rainbow hues under the warm embrace of sunshine. This remarkable photograph is part of "Picturesque America; or The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant - an exquisite collection showcasing America's most stunning landscapes through illustrations on steel and wood created by eminent American artists. John Douglas Woodward's masterful composition transports us back to 1874 when these scenes were captured for eternity – reminding us how timeless beauty can be found within Mother Nature's embrace.
