EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases a majestic waterfall at the source of the Roanoke River, nestled within the enchanting Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, USA. Taken from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and illustrated by eminent American artist John J. Harley, this image transports us back to a time when untouched landscapes were celebrated for their awe-inspiring grandeur. The cascading waters tumble down with immense force over rugged rock formations and boulders that have stood witness to centuries passing by. Towering trees frame the scene as if guarding this natural wonder from prying eyes. The sheer power and serenity emanating from Purgatory Falls create an ethereal atmosphere that captivates all who behold it. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Harley's artistic prowess but also invites viewers into a world where man-made structures are replaced by unspoiled wilderness. It reminds us of our connection to nature and urges us to appreciate its magnificence before it fades away.
