Donner Lake, Nevada, 1874. Creator: A. Measom
Donner Lake, Nevada, 1874. View of Donner Lake, a freshwater lake in Northeast California on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, USA. The great sheet of clear and beautiful water lies high up in the mountains, between steep sides, and in the midst of the wildest and most picturesque of the scenery of the Sierra summits. The depth of the lake is very great, but its waters are so transparent that one can look down many fathoms into them; they are unsullied by any disturbance of soil or sand, for they lie in a bed formed almost entirely of the solid rock. 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]

Donner Lake, Nevada, 1874 - A Glimpse into the Untouched Beauty of the Sierra Nevada
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures Donner Lake in all its pristine glory. Taken by A. Measom in 1874, this image showcases the breathtaking landscape of Northeast California on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Nestled high up in the mountains and surrounded by steep sides, Donner Lake is a true gem amidst nature's wildest and most picturesque scenery. Its clear and beautiful waters reflect the grandeur of its surroundings with remarkable clarity. The lake's depth is awe-inspiring, allowing one to peer down many fathoms into its transparent depths. What makes Donner Lake even more extraordinary is that it remains untouched by any disturbance of soil or sand; instead, it rests upon a bed formed almost entirely of solid rock. This natural phenomenon adds to its allure and contributes to an unparalleled sense of serenity. The print originates from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1874. It serves as a testament to America's rich geographical features and highlights renowned American artist Thomas Moran's wood engraving skills. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing scene captured over a century ago, let yourself be transported back in time to experience the unspoiled beauty that has made Donner Lake an enduring symbol of nature's magnificence within our great country - United States of America.
