Giants Gap, 1874. Creator: Thomas Moran
Giants Gap, 1874. The Sierra Nevada mountains in California and Nevada, USA....the rock-forms are picturesque and grand...Castellated, pinnacled, with sides like perpendicular walls, and summits like chiselled platforms, they give a strangely beautiful aspect to every shore and gorge and valley...it would be impossible to find a more glorious drive than is this along the edge of the river-bed...through the very heart of one of the noblest groups of the Sierra chain...The great canyons, and such noble breaks in the rock-wall as can give us glimpses like that of the Giants Gap...are certainly among the vistas through which one looks upon the chosen scenes of the whole world. 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]

The photograph beautifully captures the picturesque and grand rock-forms that dominate the landscape. These formations are castellated and pinnacled, with sides resembling perpendicular walls and summits resembling chiselled platforms. They bestow a strangely beautiful aspect upon every shore, gorge, and valley they overlook. The image takes us on a glorious drive along the edge of the river-bed, immersing us in one of the most magnificent groups of the Sierra chain. As we traverse through this breathtaking scenery, we encounter great canyons and noble breaks in the rock-wall like that of Giants Gap.
