Under Trinity Rock, Saguenay, 1874. Creator: James David Smillie
Under Trinity Rock, Saguenay, 1874. Steamship on the Saguenay River, Quebec, Canada....we near Trinity Rock and Cape Eternity, and one of the crew brings a bucket of pebbles on to the forward deck. As these two capes are accounted among the grandest sights of the voyage, there is a flutter of anticipation among the passengers...A slight curve brings us into Trinity Bay...flanked at the entrance by two precipices, each rising, almost perpendicularly, eighteen hundred feet above the river. The steepest is Trinity, so called because of the three distinct peaks on its northern summit...Trinity presents a face of fractured granite, which appears almost white...And now, as the boat seems to be within a few yards of them, the passengers are invited to see if they can strike them with the pebbles...but the stones fall short of their mark, in the water. 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
The captivating print titled "Under Trinity Rock, Saguenay, 1874" by James David Smillie takes us on a visual journey through the majestic Saguenay River in Quebec, Canada. As we approach Trinity Rock and Cape Eternity aboard a steamship, anticipation fills the air among passengers. The crew member brings a bucket of pebbles onto the forward deck, ready to engage with this awe-inspiring sight. A gentle curve leads us into Trinity Bay, guarded by two towering precipices that rise an astonishing eighteen hundred feet above the river. Among them is Trinity, named for its three distinct peaks on the northern summit. Its face reveals fractured granite that glistens almost white under the sunlight. As our boat seemingly draws closer to these magnificent cliffs, excitement builds as passengers are invited to test their aim by throwing pebbles towards them. Alas, despite their best efforts, the stones fall short and splash into the water below. This remarkable image is part of "Picturesque America; or The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and published in 1874. It showcases not only Smillie's exceptional talent but also provides us with a glimpse into an era when travelers sought out such breathtaking natural wonders for both adventure and admiration.
