Yosemite Fall, 1872. Creator: Alfred Harral
Yosemite Fall, 1872. Waterfall in Yosemite National Park, California, USA. Yosemite Fall is described as grand beyond all power of expression. The summit of the upper fall is a little over two thousand six hundred feet above the valley; for fifteen hundred feet the descent is absolutely vertical, and the rock is like a wall of masonry. Before this, the fall of water sways and sweeps, yielding to the force of the fitful wind with a marvellous grace and endless variety of motion. For a moment it descends with continuous roar; in another instant it is caught, and, reversing its flight, rises upward in wreathing, eddying mists, finally fading out like a summer cloud. The full-page illustration is taken from a clump of pine-trees so near that, by the rapid foreshortening, the entire fall appears in very different proportions from those seen from the opposite side of the valley. 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]. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of Yosemite Fall in 1872, as seen through the lens of Alfred Harral. Located in Yosemite National Park, California, USA, this majestic waterfall is described as grand beyond all power of expression. The upper fall reaches a staggering height of over two thousand six hundred feet above the valley floor, with a vertical descent of fifteen hundred feet resembling an imposing wall of masonry. Harral's skillful composition allows us to witness the mesmerizing dance between water and wind. The cascading flow sways and sweeps with remarkable grace and endless variations under the influence of fitful gusts. At times, it plummets downwards with an unceasing roar; then suddenly caught by unseen forces, it reverses its course and rises upward in swirling mists that resemble delicate summer clouds. The full-page illustration presented here offers a unique perspective from within a cluster of pine trees near the falls. This proximity creates a rapid foreshortening effect that alters our perception and reveals different proportions compared to viewing from across the valley. Originally featured in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1872, this timeless image showcases not only Harral's artistic talent but also serves as a testament to nature's boundless wonders found within Yosemite National Park.
