EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Little Falls, New York State, Mohawk River Valley," is a breathtaking depiction of the natural beauty and engineering marvels of the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. The image, created by the skilled hand of Milbert, showcases the picturesque Little Falls in New York State, nestled within the Mohawk River valley. The rapids and rocks in the foreground are a testament to the raw power of the river, while the tranquil waters beyond reveal the serene landscape that surrounds this natural wonder. The history of this scene is rich and intriguing. Around 1795, a canal was constructed around the rapids, revolutionizing transportation and communication routes in the region. This engineering feat allowed for the efficient movement of goods and people, paving the way for economic growth and development. The image also highlights the diverse landscape of the United States. In the background, the towering mountains and dense forests are a stark contrast to the rocky riverbed and the calm waters. The trees along the riverbank provide a sense of security and stability, while the fence and architectural elements hint at the human presence and the need for order and control in the midst of nature's power. The engraving is taken from the 1850 Spanish edition of Jean B.G. Roux de Rochelle's "Etats-Unis d'Amerique," published in Barcelona. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history, culture, and natural beauty of the United States during a time of great change and exploration.
