The Chickahominy, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the serene beauty of the Chickahominy River in eastern Virginia, USA. Captured by William Wellstood, this image showcases the untouched wilderness and abundant wildlife that once thrived in this region during the 19th century. The Chickahominy River was renowned for being home to a diverse array of "varmints" as described in the book "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In". Among these creatures was the resourceful raccoon, depicted here skillfully fishing for catfish and pike or stealthily raiding sleeping creepers and young wood-ducks. Wellstood's engraving perfectly captures the essence of this picturesque landscape. Towering cypress trees rise majestically from swampy waters, creating an enchanting backdrop for nature enthusiasts and artists alike. The tranquil river meanders through lush vegetation, reflecting a peaceful scene that seems frozen in time. This artwork not only celebrates the natural splendor of America but also pays homage to literary editor William Cullen Bryant's efforts to document it through pen and pencil illustrations. Published by D. Appleton and Company in 1872 as part of their esteemed collection on American landscapes, Wellstood's work stands as a testament to his artistic talent and dedication. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece today, we are reminded of our connection with nature and its inhabitants throughout history. It serves as an invitation to appreciate both our natural surroundings and those who have sought to capture their beauty through artistry like William Wellstood did over a century ago.
