Bellows Falls, 1874. Creator: John Filmer
Bellows Falls, 1874. The Tucker Toll Bridge over the Connecticut River at Bellows Falls, Vermont, USA. Bellows Falls...is well known as the stopping-place of the railways, and, to some extent, a place of summer resort. The falls, which give the chief charm to the place, are a succession of rapids in the Connecticut [River]. These rapids extend not far from a mile along the base of a high and precipitous hill...which bears the name of Fall Mountain. 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]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bellows Falls in 1874, a charming town nestled in Vermont, USA. The focal point of the image is the Tucker Toll Bridge, gracefully spanning over the Connecticut River. This bridge served as a vital connection for both locals and travelers passing through this picturesque region. Bellows Falls itself was renowned as a popular stop for railways during that era, attracting visitors seeking respite from bustling city life. Its natural beauty was enhanced by the magnificent falls that stretched almost a mile along Fall Mountain's base. These rapids added an enchanting touch to the landscape, creating a cataract-like effect. The print is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and features illustrations on steel and wood by esteemed American artists. John Filmer skillfully captured this scene with his engraving technique, showcasing his talent as an artist. As you gaze upon this historic photograph print today, it transports you back to a time when Bellows Falls was not only known for its transportation significance but also revered as a summer retreat destination. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature's wonders depicted here - from the rushing waters below to the towering hill above - and experience firsthand why Bellows Falls continues to be cherished even after all these years.
