EDITORS COMMENTS
High Banks, Portage, 1874: A Majestic Waterfall in the Heart of New York State". This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of High Banks, a waterfall nestled within the Genesee River gorge at Portage, New York State. Taken in 1874 by John Filmer, this image showcases nature's power and grandeur. The photograph reveals a breathtaking sight as water cascades down from great heights into a rocky basin below. The rugged rock formations surrounding the falls add to its dramatic allure. One can almost feel the mist on their face and hear the thunderous roar of water crashing against stone. Filmer's lens also highlights an intriguing feature - a hazardous pathway leading from rocky observatories to the base of this magnificent waterfall. This treacherous route offers daring adventurers an up-close encounter with nature's raw force. Known as High Banks due to its towering cliffs that enclose the river tightly until it reaches a broad valley downstream, this natural wonder attracts visitors seeking both tranquility and adventure. It is no wonder that such picturesque landscapes have inspired artists like Filmer to capture their essence for generations to come. This remarkable print serves as a testament to America's rich geographical features and reminds us of our deep connection with nature. As we gaze upon this timeless scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when exploration was celebrated and appreciated through pen, pencil, steel engravings - all brought together beautifully in "Picturesque America; or The Land We Live In.
