EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Upper End of Au Sable Chasm in the Adirondacks, New York State, circa 1897. The Ausable River gracefully meanders through a magnificent sandstone gorge near Keeseville, creating a breathtaking natural wonder. The image is sourced from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London. The photograph takes us back to a time when exploration was daring and adventurous. In 1760, Major John Howe fearlessly ventured into this chasm using ropes to navigate its rugged terrain - an incredible feat that showcases human resilience and curiosity. The picture's monochrome aesthetic adds depth and mystery to the scene, emphasizing the grandeur of nature against man-made structures like bridges or walkways that may have been present at that time. This image not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into geological formations and geographical features of Central America during the 19th century. It transports viewers to an era where travel literature played a crucial role in discovering new regions and promoting tourism. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot captured by an unknown creator, we are reminded of our connection with nature and how it continues to inspire awe throughout generations.
