EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Balanced Rock, a natural wonder nestled in the Garden of the Gods, Colorado, USA. Taken around 1900 by an unknown photographer, this image captures a moment frozen in time. The rock formation itself is a testament to the power of erosion over millions of years. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of rugged landscapes, Balanced Rock defies gravity with its delicate equilibrium. It serves as a symbol of harmony between nature's forces and human fascination. Featured in "Scenic Marvels of the New World" edited by Professor George R. Cromwell, this photograph invites viewers to appreciate both its scientific significance and aesthetic beauty. The monochrome presentation adds an air of mystery and timelessness to this remarkable geological phenomenon. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported back to early 20th-century America—a country filled with untamed wilderness waiting to be explored. This image beckons tourists from all corners of the world to witness firsthand what makes Garden of the Gods such a renowned tourist attraction. While we may not know who precisely captured this extraordinary sight or how it came into our possession through C. N. Greig & Co. , we can still marvel at its uniqueness and ponder on nature's ability to create such wonders that leave us humbled and inspired.
