The Flume, Franconia (White) Mountains, N. H. c1897 - A Hidden Gem Discovered by Aunt Jess Guernsey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 19th century in America, specifically to the breathtaking beauty of The Flume in Franconia Mountains, New Hampshire. The image showcases a natural wonder - a granite gorge carved by the meandering Flume Brook. What makes this place even more fascinating is its intriguing history. In 1808, an adventurous 93-year-old woman named "Aunt". Jess Guernsey stumbled upon this hidden gem while fishing. Little did she know that her accidental discovery would become one of nature's most cherished treasures. The photo was featured in Prof. Geo. R. Cromwell's book titled "A Tour Through the New World America" published around the same time as this picture was taken. It captures not only the geological marvels but also highlights the wooden footbridge that spans across the gorge, allowing visitors to explore its depths. As we gaze at this monochrome snapshot from yesteryears, we are transported into a world where untouched wilderness meets human ingenuity through structures like bridges and pathways. Today, The Flume continues to be a popular tourist destination within New England's scenic landscapes and serves as a testament to both nature's power of erosion and mankind's appreciation for geographical wonders. Let this photograph remind us of our connection with nature and inspire us to seek out hidden treasures waiting to be discovered right outside our doorstep.
