Devils Gate, Weber Canon, 1874. Creator: John Filmer
Devils Gate, Weber Canon, 1874. Rock formation in the Wasatch Range Utah, USA. The Devils Gate - a black, ragged opening in one part of the great gorge, through which the foaming waters of the [Weber] river rush white and noisy...is well named. A very spirit of darkness seems to brood over the place. On each side, the broken cliffs lie in shadow; the thundering water roars below; there is no verdure but a blasted tree here and there; great bowlders lie in the bed of the stream and...seen through the gap, there are black hills and mountain-summits overlooking them. And there is a cool wind here, that is like a breeze blown across the Styx, and that is never still, even in the hottest summer day. 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]

Devils Gate, Weber Canon, 1874 - A Glimpse into the Dark Majesty of Nature
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by John Filmer takes us back to the year 1874, immersing us in the rugged beauty of Devils Gate in Weber Canon, Utah. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a remarkable rock formation within the majestic Wasatch Range. As we gaze upon this black and jagged opening amidst the great gorge, we can almost hear the thunderous rush of foaming waters from the Weber River. The name "Devils Gate" seems fitting as an eerie darkness permeates every corner of this place. Broken cliffs cast long shadows on either side while a lone blasted tree stands as testament to nature's unforgiving power. The bed of the river is strewn with massive boulders that bear witness to its relentless force. Through this narrow gap lies a vista of black hills and mountain summits shrouded in mystery and grandeur. Even on scorching summer days, a cool wind blows incessantly here - reminiscent of a breeze whispered across Styx itself. John Filmer's photograph transports us to an era when America was still being explored and documented through pen and pencil. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical record - capturing not only natural wonders but also evoking emotions tied to our connection with untamed landscapes. This stunning piece from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" allows us to appreciate how nature's raw power can inspire awe even amid darkness.
