East Hampton, from the Church Belfry, 1872 - A Glimpse into the Serene Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the tranquil town of East Hampton in 1872. Captured by John J. Harley, it showcases a breathtaking view of Hook Windmill, an architectural gem built in 1806 that still stands proudly today. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, our eyes are drawn to the towering bell tower or belfry of the nearby church. Its archway frames the picturesque landscape with precision and elegance. The Atlantic Ocean stretches out before us, its vastness merging seamlessly with the horizon. In this idyllic setting, we can almost feel a gentle sea breeze caressing our faces as we imagine ourselves transported to a simpler time. The timbered windmill stands tall against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery that surround it. The image is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" a renowned book edited by William Cullen Bryant which aimed to capture the beauty of America through pen and pencil illustrations by eminent artists like Harry Fenn. Through this remarkable photograph, we catch a glimpse into both history and artistry. It serves as a reminder of how architecture harmonizes with nature's splendor while also evoking feelings of peace and spirituality found within religious structures. This print truly encapsulates East Hampton's timeless charm—a place where past meets present in perfect harmony—and invites us to appreciate its enduring beauty for generations to come.
