Passaic Falls, 1874. Creator: A. Measom
Passaic Falls, 1874. Waterfall on the Passaic River, New Jersey, USA. At the Great Falls, the river rolls smoothly to the verge, and then plunges boldly, in one unbroken column, over the precipice of the Great Falls, dropping, like a liquid thunder-bolt, sheer ninety feet into a deep and narrow chasm of less than sixty feet in width, through which it dashes and foams in short-lived madness, to rest and glass itself upon a broad, still basin, hollowed by its own labors from the solid rock. 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]

Passaic Falls, 1874 - A Majestic Display of Nature's Power and Beauty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the awe-inspiring Passaic Falls in all its glory. Taken by A. Measom in 1874, this image showcases the breathtaking waterfall located on the Passaic River in New Jersey, USA. At the Great Falls, the river gracefully flows towards the edge before plunging fearlessly over a precipice in one uninterrupted column. The water cascades down with such force that it resembles a liquid thunderbolt, plummeting an impressive ninety feet into a narrow chasm carved out by its own relentless power. The resulting spectacle is nothing short of mesmerizing as the water dashes and foams with temporary madness before finding serenity in a broad basin hewn from solid rock. Featured in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant, this wood engraving transports viewers back to the 19th century when natural wonders like Passaic Falls captivated both artists and explorers alike. With intricate details captured through pen and pencil strokes, this artwork beautifully depicts not only nature's grandeur but also highlights human ingenuity through a footbridge spanning across the falls. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved through time, allow yourself to be transported to an era where untouched landscapes were revered for their beauty and power. Let your imagination wander as you envision standing at Passaic Falls' edge - feeling both humbled by its mightiness and inspired by its timeless allure.
