Falls of the Abra, between 1880 and 1897
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph captured by the renowned American photographer William H. Jackson. The image, taken between the late 1880s and 1897, depicts the breathtaking Falls of the Abra located in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Central America. The photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches, was captured using a dry plate or glass negative process, a popular photographic technique during the nineteenth century. The scene captivates the viewer with its natural beauty and raw power. The river, teeming with crystal-clear water, tumbles over the rocky edge of the cliff, creating a mesmerizing torrent that cascades into the pool below. The falls are surrounded by lush vegetation, with trees and branches reaching out towards the riverbank, adding to the serene and untouched atmosphere of the location. Two men, dressed in the attire of the era, can be seen on the riverbank, taking in the breathtaking view. They stand in awe of the natural wonder before them, their presence adding a sense of scale and context to the image. The Falls of the Abra were a popular tourist attraction during this time, drawing visitors from all over the world to witness the natural beauty and wonder of Central America. This photograph, now held in the collections of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American photography and the enduring allure of the natural world. The image invites us to explore the history and geography of this beautiful and intriguing region, transporting us back in time to a simpler era when the wonders of nature were a true destination for travelers and adventurers alike.
