Great Falls of the Potomac, 1874. Creator: Alfred Harral
Great Falls of the Potomac, 1874. Waterfalls on the Potomac River on the border of Maryland and Virginia, USA. Here the water foams and rushes among jagged rocks, forming numerous cascades and pools as it hastens on. In this region the Potomac has become a comparatively narrow stream, with limpid and rapid waters; and all along its course, as far as Harpers Ferry, its valley presents a varied, unkempt scenery, which makes the jaunt along its shores a thoroughly pleasant one. 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 majestic beauty of the Great Falls of the Potomac in 1874. Created by Alfred Harral, this image showcases the powerful waterfalls on the border of Maryland and Virginia, USA. The foaming waters rush among jagged rocks, forming numerous cascades and pools as they hasten on their journey. In this region, the Potomac River narrows down to become a clear and rapid stream with pristine waters. The picturesque scenery along its course, extending all the way to Harpers Ferry, presents an untamed landscape that makes exploring its shores a truly delightful experience. This stunning photograph is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1874. It features illustrations on steel and wood by eminent American artists. Alfred Harral's masterful engraving transports us back to a time when nature's wonders were captured through pen and pencil. The rocky boulders add texture to the scene while creating a dramatic contrast against the rushing white water. As we gaze upon this historic print today, we are reminded of both our country's natural splendor and our artistic heritage. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in times long past, people marveled at these breathtaking landscapes just as we do now.
