EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing black and white albumen print transports us back to the tranquil beauty of Lula Lake and Upper Falls on Rock Creek, near Lookout Mountain, Georgia. Taken by Isaac H. Bonsall in 1864-65 during the American Civil War era, this photograph showcases both the natural wonders of the country and its historical significance. The image portrays a breathtaking cataract cascading down rugged rock formations amidst lush greenery. The sheer force of water creates an ethereal mist that dances in harmony with sunlight filtering through dense foliage. In this serene landscape, a lone soldier stands at the edge of the lake, perhaps finding solace or reflecting upon his experiences during wartime. Bonsall's composition skillfully captures not only nature's grandeur but also evokes a sense of peace amid turmoil.
