The Susquehanna, 1874. Creator: Frederick William Quartley
The Susquehanna, 1874. View of the River Susquehanna on the East Coast of the USA....there is a constant succession of bold mountain-forms, wooded from the base to the summit; of deep ravines, where the pines stand in serried shadow...of winding banks, whose curves are of the most exquisite beauty; of broad sheets of brown water, swift and untamable, whose rapid flow has never been subjected to the curbing of navigation; of a superb vegetation, that clothes with equal splendor the valley and the hill-tops, the banks, the islands of the river, and the undulating plains here and there breaking through the leaguer of the mountain-ranges. All these attractions - these gifts of a tender, loving mother Nature - have been bestowed upon the Susquehanna. 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 titled "The Susquehanna, 1874" by Frederick William Quartley offers a breathtaking view of the majestic River Susquehanna on the East Coast of the USA. The image beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable landscape, showcasing a continuous array of striking mountain formations adorned with lush forests from base to summit. Deep ravines create an enchanting play of light and shadow as towering pines stand in perfect alignment. The river's winding banks, gracefully curving through the scenery, add an element of exquisite beauty to the composition. Broad sheets of untamed brown water flow swiftly, untouched by navigation control, symbolizing its wild and free spirit. Nature has bestowed upon the Susquehanna an abundance of splendid vegetation that adorns every corner - from valley to hilltops, riverbanks to islands, and even across undulating plains breaking through encircling mountain ranges. This extraordinary photograph is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1874. It showcases not only Quartley's artistic talent but also serves as a testament to Mother Nature's tender love for this region. As we gaze at this print today, we are transported back in time to witness nature's gifts preserved forever within its frame – a reminder that our world is filled with awe-inspiring wonders waiting to be explored and cherished for generations to come.
