The Dalles of the St. Louis, 1874. Creator: W. J. Linton
The Dalles of the St. Louis, 1874. Rapids on the St Louis River which flows through Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA....Nature is harsh, rugged, and sombre, tearing her way in a water-course four miles long...The banks are formed of cold, gray slate-rocks, clad with an ample growth of bleak pine, and twisted, split, and torn into the wildest of shapes...the current surges with terrific force, leaping and eddying, and uttering a savage roar...Here and there an immense bowlder...is nearly hidden by the seething, hissing, foamy waves, which dance and struggle around and over it, sometimes submerging it, and then, exhausted, falling into a quieter pace. 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]

The Dalles of the St. Louis, 1874 - A Glimpse into Nature's Untamed Majesty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by W. J. Linton transports us to the untamed wilderness of the St. Louis River in Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA. In this rugged landscape, nature reveals her harsh and somber side as she carves a four-mile-long watercourse through cold gray slate-rocks. The scene is dominated by the mighty rapids that surge with an awe-inspiring force, their currents leaping and eddying while emitting a savage roar. Amidst this tumultuous display of power, immense boulders emerge from beneath the seething waves, momentarily hidden before resurfacing again. The banks are adorned with twisted and torn pine trees that cling tenaciously to life despite their bleak surroundings. Their presence adds an eerie beauty to this wild tableau. W. J. Linton's masterful composition captures both the grandeur and ferocity of nature in stunning detail. The print allows us to immerse ourselves in a world where water battles against rock, creating a symphony of chaos and serenity. As we gaze upon this image from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1874, we cannot help but be humbled by nature's raw power and its ability to shape even the harshest landscapes into something truly remarkable. This photograph serves as a reminder that amidst our modern lives filled with comfort and convenience, there still exist places untouched by human hands – places where nature reigns supreme – inviting us to marvel at its unyielding spirit.
