George Cromwell was a true adventurer, exploring the wonders of America in the late 19th century. From the majestic Missouri River below Great Falls, Montana to the breathtaking Natural Bridge in Virginia, he captured moments that would stand the test of time. His lens also took him to Niagara Falls, where he witnessed nature's raw power cascading down with awe-inspiring force. In Pennsylvania's Cresson Springs, George found solace at Mountain House amidst picturesque landscapes and tranquil surroundings. Traveling westward, he arrived at Tacoma's Pacific Avenue, capturing its vibrant energy and bustling streets. Further south in Florida, George witnessed the loading of oranges on the Ocklawaha River - a testament to America's agricultural abundance. Lake George in New York beckoned him next; Green Island offered respite from city life as he marveled at its serene beauty. Crossing borders into Mexico City, his camera immortalized the grandeur of Gallery of the School of LA Paz (Vizeainas), showcasing architectural marvels steeped in history. From east to west coast again - Boston welcomed him with open arms as Tremont Street and The Common became subjects for his artistic eye. And who could resist capturing Washington D. C. 's iconic Capitol building against an azure sky? But it was Gettysburg's Devils Den that truly stirred his soul; standing amidst remnants of war reminded him of our nation's resilience and sacrifice. Finally, Sandy Hook provided a stunning vista from Highland Light in New Jersey - a perfect ending to his photographic journey across America. Through these images frozen in time by an unknown creator but cherished by George Cromwell himself, we glimpse into an era long gone yet forever preserved through their lens.
