Royal Gorge, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and captivating black and white albumen print by the renowned American photographer William H. Jackson. This photograph, taken in the heart of the 1880s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the American West was still largely undiscovered and the spirit of adventure was in the air. The image depicts a group of people, both men and women, gathered near the edge of the Royal Gorge in Colorado. The grandeur of the natural wonder is on full display, with the mighty Arkansas River snaking through the canyon below, and the steep cliffs rising up on either side. In the foreground, a steam locomotive and its railway tracks dominate the scene, symbolizing the burgeoning transportation revolution that was transforming the country. Children play amongst the rocks, their laughter carried away by the wind. A man in a hat stands off to the side, gazing out at the breathtaking view, while a woman in a long dress and bonnet looks on, her hand shielding her eyes from the sun. The scene is one of wonder, excitement, and awe, as the group takes in the majesty of this natural marvel. This photograph, now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the power of photography to capture a moment in time and preserve it for future generations. William H. Jackson's "Royal Gorge, 1885" is not just a photograph, but a window into the past, a reminder of the rich heritage and history that continues to shape our world today.
