EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Big Falls on the Peshtigo River in Wisconsin, circa 1897. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing nature's beauty is undeniable. The cascades of the river are adorned with felled pine trees, a stark reminder of the deforestation that took place during this era. The photograph is featured in "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor George R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. in London around the same time period. This book offers readers a glimpse into America's landscape and industry during the late 19th century. In this scenic view, we witness nature's power as water rushes down from above, creating a breathtaking cataract amidst a forested backdrop. Floating logs further emphasize the timber industry that thrived in this region at that time. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, it transports us back to an era when untouched wilderness was abundant across our country. It serves as a reminder of both America's natural wonders and its history of industrialization. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance within American literature and geography. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and strive to preserve our natural heritage for future generations to come.
