Rockland Landing, on the Schuylkill, 1874. Creator: John Filmer
Rockland Landing, on the Schuylkill, 1874. The River Schuylkill at Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The windings of the river offer a constant variety of sylvan scenery. At Rockland Landing, for instance, there is an extensive view in both directions until the bend of the stream cuts it off, while directly behind the spectator towers a rocky, perpendicular cliff, on the face of which the various strata of rock are exposed to view in a manner which would delight equally a scientific geologist or the mere casual lover of the picturesque. 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]
