EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Harpers Ferry in 1872, a picturesque town nestled at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers in West Virginia, USA. The image is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" a renowned book edited by William Cullen Bryant that beautifully depicts the natural wonders of America through illustrations by eminent American artists. In this particular scene captured by John Filmer, we are transported to a time when steam locomotives ruled the railways. A sturdy bridge stretches across the river, serving as a vital link for transportation and trade. The landscape surrounding Harpers Ferry is breathtakingly beautiful, with rolling hills and valleys creating an idyllic backdrop for this charming town. Filmer's engraving skillfully captures both the geographical features and architectural structures that define Harpers Ferry. This print not only showcases his artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into life during the nineteenth century in America. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging our roots. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage that shapes our present-day United States and invites us to explore further into its fascinating history.
