EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, showcasing the majestic Royal Gorge of the Arkansas River in Colorado's Rocky Mountain region. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the beauty and grandeur of this natural wonder is undeniable. The Royal Gorge, once claimed by Spain during its colonial era, is a breathtaking canyon that stretches along the Arkansas River. This photograph was featured in "A Tour Through the New World America" authored by Professor George R. Cromwell and published by C. N. Greig & Co. in London around 1897. The monochrome composition emphasizes the dramatic landscape with its narrow granite walls rising steeply on either side. A railway track can be seen winding through this rugged terrain, adding a sense of scale and human presence to an otherwise untouched wilderness. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported to a time when railroads were instrumental in connecting remote regions like Royal Gorge to civilization. It serves as a reminder of both our country's rich history and its awe-inspiring natural wonders. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also provides insights into transportation history and geographical features that have shaped our nation's identity throughout time.
