Southern Side of Willamette Falls, 1872. Creator: Albert Bobbett
Southern Side of Willamette Falls, 1872. Waterfall in Oregon, USA: when below the falls, the tremendous proportions of the scenery forcibly impress the mind. The huge walls of basalt, built up in enormous blocks of masonry, quarried by Natures own subtle and strong hand, excite the liveliest feelings of admiration...Masses of the basalt, broken and thrown down, show their black heads feebly in the centre through the rush of waters. But on one flank the wily enemy has gained a temporary advantage, and a great stream has been separated from the main flood...this divided portion precipitates itself in a fiercer, braver curve than the others, and joins its friends at the bottom of the maelstrom, amid a hoarse, congratulatory murmur, which mingles with the roar of the combat. 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. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1872]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Southern Side of Willamette Falls, 1872" takes us back in time to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. Created by Albert Bobbett, this image showcases the majestic waterfall located in Oregon, USA. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our minds are forcibly impressed by the tremendous proportions of the scenery. The colossal walls of basalt rise before us like a masterpiece crafted by Nature's own subtle and strong hand. Enormous blocks of masonry quarried over time create an architectural marvel that elicits feelings of admiration within us. Amidst the rush of waters below, broken masses of black-headed basalt meekly reveal themselves. However, on one flank, it is evident that nature's forces have temporarily gained an advantage as a great stream separates from the main flood. This divided portion cascades down with a fiercer and braver curve than its counterparts before reuniting with them at the bottom amidst a hoarse yet congratulatory murmur. The intensity and power captured in this photograph evoke both wonder and respect for Mother Nature's grandeur. It reminds us how small we are compared to her might but also invites us to appreciate her artistry. Taken from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1872, this historical print transports us back to a time when capturing such natural wonders was still relatively new. Albert Bobbett skillfully immortalizes this breathtaking moment through his lens for generations to come to admire and cherish.
