Steamboat Rock, Wisconsin River, 1874. Creator: Alfred Waud
Steamboat Rock, Wisconsin River, 1874. Tourists visit an unusual rock formation on the Wisconsin River, Wisconsin, USA. Regaining the river, we travel southward...the boundary rocks counterfeit the sterns of four or five steamboats moored together, with their several tiers of galleries, one above another. 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]

Steamboat Rock, Wisconsin River, 1874 - A Captivating Natural Wonder
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Alfred Waud in 1874, we are transported back to a time when tourists flocked to witness the extraordinary rock formations along the Wisconsin River. The image showcases Steamboat Rock, an unusual geological wonder that mesmerized visitors with its resemblance to several steamboats moored together. As we delve into the scene, our eyes are drawn to the majestic boundary rocks that mimic the sterns of multiple steamboats. With their distinct tiers of galleries rising one above another, these natural sculptures create a truly awe-inspiring sight. It is as if nature itself has crafted a masterpiece for all to marvel at. The photograph originates from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and published by D. Appleton and Company in New York. This volume aimed to showcase America's breathtaking landscapes through pen and pencil illustrations created by eminent American artists like Alfred Waud. Waud's skillful engraving captures not only the beauty of Steamboat Rock but also transports us on a journey down the river towards further wonders waiting beyond our view. As rowing boats dotting the water surface hint at potential adventures yet to be explored, one cannot help but feel inspired by both nature's grandeur and mankind's quest for discovery. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Wisconsin's rich geographical features while offering us a glimpse into nineteenth-century tourism and transportation practices in America. It stands as an enduring reminder of how even seemingly ordinary rocks can hold extraordinary stories within them.
