Profile Rock, 1874. Creator: W. J. Linton
Profile Rock, 1874. Rock formation on the Mohawk River, New York State, USA. But there are witnesses still extant of what the waters did in the remote past; for here is Profile Rock, where the hard stone has been so mauled, and had its stratification so handled, that the very fair likeness to a human profile has been washed out...the Profile Rock is one of the institutions of the place; and the stranger within the gates who should, out of pure " cussedness", refuse to see any resemblance to the human visage, would be considered very impolite, to say the least of it. 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]
