Devil's Tower from the West Side - A Spectacular View of Millions of Tons of Fallen Rock and Igneous Towering Monument, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer John C.H. Grabill in 1890, showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of Devil's Tower, a geological marvel located in Crook County, Wyoming, United States. The image captures the tower from the western side, revealing the vast amount of fallen rock and debris at its base, estimated to be around 800,000 tons. The Devil's Tower, an igneous intrusion, rises majestically from the rolling plains of the Black Hills, standing tall at 867 feet. This iconic landmark, a national monument since 1906, has long been a source of fascination for geologists, historians, and travelers alike. The tower's imposing presence and unique structure have made it a symbol of the American West and a testament to the power of nature. The photograph, taken during the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the meeting of frontiers, as the American West was being explored and documented. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the country's heritage art and a reminder of the rich history and scientific significance of this geological wonder. Grabill's photograph, with its stark contrasts and intricate details, invites us to contemplate the grandeur of nature and the wonders that lie hidden in the most unexpected places. The image, a still and silent witness to the passage of time, stands as a testament to the power and beauty of the natural world.
