Ascent of Whiteface, 1874. Creator: Harry Fenn
Ascent of Whiteface, 1874. Climber on the Whiteface Mountain in New York State, USA, one of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains....its crest...rising like some pedestal built up by Jove or Pan to overlook his realm. The pinnacles piled about it seemed but vast steps reared for its ascent. One dark, wooded summit, a mere bulwark of the mighty mass above, showed athwart its heart a broad, pale streak, either the channel of a vanished torrent, or another but far less formidable slide. 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]

EDITORS COMMENTS
Ascent of Whiteface, 1874: A Majestic Climb in the Adirondack Mountains". This print captures a climber's daring ascent on Whiteface Mountain, one of the High Peaks in New York State's magnificent Adirondack Mountains. The photograph, taken by Harry Fenn in 1874, showcases the awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur of this natural wonder. As we gaze upon the image, we are transported to a realm where clouds dance around the mountain's peak like ethereal mist. The rugged landscape is adorned with pinnacles that appear as colossal steps leading towards heaven itself. It seems as though Jove or Pan themselves have erected this pedestal to overlook their divine realm. Amidst the misty atmosphere and dense foliage lies a dark summit, seemingly dwarfed by its mighty counterpart above. Etched across its heart is a pale streak - perhaps an ancient riverbed or remnants of a once powerful slide - serving as a reminder of nature's relentless power. Harry Fenn skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of adventure within this scene. A lone climber traverses along an unseen path, defying gravity and embracing both challenge and triumph amidst these breathtaking surroundings. This remarkable print from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" immerses us in an era when exploration was met with curiosity and determination. It invites us to embark on our own journey through time and space while appreciating nature's enduring allure found within America's great wilderness.
