EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cumberland Gap, 1872" takes us back to the rugged beauty of the Appalachian Mountains in the United States. The image showcases a breathtaking view of the pass through the Cumberland Mountains on the border of Kentucky and Virginia. Taken from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" a renowned book edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1872, this engraving by Harry Fenn perfectly captures the essence of this wild and untamed landscape. Fenn's skillful use of pen and pencil brings out every intricate detail of this mountainous region. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a time when nature reigned supreme over man-made structures. The winding road that cuts through these majestic mountains serves as a reminder of humanity's desire to conquer even the most challenging terrains. The Cumberland Gap holds historical significance as it was an important route for early settlers venturing westward during America's expansionist era. This print not only showcases its geographical features but also evokes a sense of adventure and exploration that characterized those times. Framed within steel illustrations alongside other eminent American artists' works, Fenn's contribution stands out with its meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also a window into America's past—a testament to both its natural wonders and human determination.
