Coast of Mendocino, 1872. Creator: J. G. Smithwick
Coast of Mendocino, 1872. Rock arch on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, California, USA. Nothing can be more tumultuous or less pacific than the waters of the Pacific Ocean along the Mendocino coast...the waves are twelve feet high and a mile in length, and advance with a solemnity of motion which words cannot describe...the boiling fury with which they crash upon the beach and churn the sands is, at first sight, appalling. Around such isolated rocks as those presented by the artist they rage and raven...they have worn the cliffs into strange and wondrous forms, beating out caverns where the lower part is conglomerate rock, and series of arched cellars, into which tuns of sea-weed and debris are thrown...they have invariably scooped out the soft rock, making all kinds of mystic arches, siren rings, and gateways of Poseidon. 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 print titled "Coast of Mendocino, 1872" by J. G. Smithwick takes us back in time to the tumultuous shores of the Pacific Ocean in California, USA. The image showcases a magnificent rock arch standing proudly on the shoreline, surrounded by the awe-inspiring power of nature. The description accompanying this photograph transports us into a world where words fail to capture the grandeur and mightiness of these waters. The waves depicted here are described as twelve feet high and a mile long, advancing with an almost sacred motion that defies explanation. As they crash upon the beach with boiling fury, one cannot help but feel overwhelmed by their sheer force. The artist skillfully captures how these relentless waves have shaped and carved out unique formations along this stretch of coastline. Isolated rocks bear witness to their unyielding rage as they wear away at cliffs, creating strange and wondrous shapes such as caverns and arched cellars filled with sea-weed and debris. In this mesmerizing scene from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" we are transported to a realm where mystic arches, siren rings, and gateways of Poseidon emerge from soft rock sculpted by centuries of ceaseless assault from the mighty Pacific Ocean. J. G. Smithwick's photographic masterpiece serves as a testament to both his artistic prowess and his ability to capture nature's raw beauty in all its untamed glory.
