COLORADO RIVER. Noon Day Rest in Marble Canyon
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating wood engraving from 1870 that captures the essence of an American expedition through the breathtaking landscapes of the Colorado River. The image showcases a moment of respite during John Wesley Powell's historic journey, as his crew takes a break amidst the rugged beauty of Marble Canyon. The scene depicts an exterior view of Marble Canyon within what would later become known as Grand Canyon National Park. The 19th-century maritime engraving skillfully portrays the geology and grandeur of this Southwestern wonder, showcasing towering cliffs and deep canyons carved by the mighty Colorado River. In this snapshot, Powell's canoe and dinghy are anchored on the tranquil waters, providing a stark contrast to the imposing surroundings. As noon approaches, members of his expedition find solace in nature's embrace – perhaps discussing their discoveries or simply taking in the awe-inspiring scenery. This Granger Collection print transports viewers back in time to witness one small moment within Powell's daring exploration. It serves as a reminder not only of our nation's rich history but also highlights humanity's enduring fascination with untamed wilderness. Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or captivated by its artistic mastery, this wood engraving offers an immersive glimpse into America's past and invites contemplation about our relationship with nature.
