Summit of Grays Peak, 1874. Creator: Meeder & Chubb
Summit of Grays Peak, 1874. View of Grays Peak, the tenth-highest summit of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA. Foremost in the view are the twin peaks, Grays and Torrey s; but, in a vast area that seems limitless, there are successive rows of pinnacles, some of them entirely wrapped in everlasting snow, others patched with it, some abrupt and pointed, others reaching their climax by soft curves and gradations that are almost imperceptible. We are on the crest of a continent.... 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]

Summit of Grays Peak, 1874 - A Majestic View of the Rocky Mountains
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Summit of Grays Peak in 1874. Taken by Meeder & Chubb, this image showcases the tenth-highest summit in the Rocky Mountains, located in Colorado, USA. The photograph transports us to a vast and limitless landscape where nature's grandeur unfolds before our eyes. The focal point is undoubtedly Grays and Torrey's twin peaks, standing tall against a backdrop of successive rows of pinnacles. Some are adorned with everlasting snow while others bear patches of it. Each pinnacle possesses its own unique character - some sharp and pointed, others gently curving towards their climax. As we stand on this crest that spans an entire continent, we can't help but feel humbled by the sheer magnitude and drama surrounding us. Horses graze peacefully amidst this remote wilderness, adding a touch of life to an otherwise untamed scene. This remarkable engraving was featured in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and geographical exploration during the 19th century. Let this print transport you back in time to experience firsthand the breathtaking majesty that awaits atop Grays Peak – a true testament to Mother Nature's unrivaled artistry.
