Silver Cascade, 1872. Creator: Frederick William Quartley
Silver Cascade, 1872. Waterfall on Lake Superior, Minnesota, USA. The Silver Cascade falls from an overhanging cliff, one hundred and seventy-five
feet, into the lake below. The fall of Niagara is one hundred and sixty-five feet, ten feet less than the Silver, which, however, is but a ribbon in breadth, compared to the " Thunder of Waters". The Silver is a beautiful fall, and the largest among the Pictures [Pictured Rocks]; but the whole coast of Superior is spangled with the spray of innumerable cascades and rapids, as all the little rivers, instead of running through the gorges and ravines of the lower-lake country, spring boldly over the cliffs.... 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]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Silver Cascade, 1872" by Frederick William Quartley takes us back to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Superior in Minnesota, USA. The image showcases the majestic Silver Cascade waterfall as it gracefully plunges from an overhanging cliff into the glistening lake below. Standing at a remarkable height of one hundred and seventy-five feet, this natural wonder surpasses even the renowned Niagara Falls by ten feet. Despite its slender width compared to the thunderous Niagara, the Silver Cascade possesses an undeniable charm that captivates all who behold it. As Quartley expertly captures this picturesque scene, we are reminded of its significance within the larger landscape known as Pictured Rocks. This region along Lake Superior's coast is adorned with countless cascades and rapids, each contributing to its ethereal allure. The photograph serves as a testament to Quartley's artistic prowess and his ability to convey nature's grandeur through his lens. It transports viewers back in time to an era when America was still being explored and celebrated for its awe-inspiring landscapes. Originally featured in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1872, this historic print continues to evoke a sense of wonderment and appreciation for our natural world today.
