East Rock, New Haven, 1874. Creator: Samuel Valentine Hunt
East Rock, New Haven, 1874. Countryside around East Rock, New Haven, Connecticut, USA. East Rock overlooks the ample interval and river-reaches of the Quinnipiac Valley, which are almost hidden from West Rock. The view of the beautiful city from East Rock has afforded to the pencil of our artist rare scope for boldness, amid the average level of the landscape. The cliffs are rough, and difficult to climb, but they well repay the toil of surmounting them, while, from the top of either, the spectator may stretch his vision.... 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]

East Rock, New Haven, 1874 - A Glimpse into the Tranquil Countryside
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the serene landscape of East Rock, New Haven in 1874. Captured by Samuel Valentine Hunt, a talented artist and keen observer of nature, this image showcases the picturesque beauty that enveloped the countryside surrounding East Rock. Perched high above the Quinnipiac Valley, East Rock offers a breathtaking vantage point where one can marvel at the hidden river-reaches and ample intervals below. Unlike its counterpart West Rock, which obscures this scenic view, East Rock provides our artist with an extraordinary canvas for his bold strokes. The rugged cliffs of East Rock may pose challenges to climbers but reward their efforts with unparalleled vistas. From its summit or any elevated point along its slopes, one's vision stretches far beyond what meets the eye. The cityscape unfolds before us like a masterpiece painted by Mother Nature herself. This remarkable photograph is part of "Picturesque America; or The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. It forms an integral part of this literary work that seeks to capture America's natural wonders through pen and pencil illustrations created by eminent American artists. As we gaze upon this timeless scene captured over a century ago, we are transported to a simpler time when man and nature coexisted harmoniously. Let us cherish this glimpse into history as it reminds us of both our connection to the land and our capacity for artistic expression.
