The Lovers Leap - Approach By Night, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century America. Created by Henry Duff Linton, this artwork captures a moment filled with mystery and anticipation. In the foreground, we see a mail coach perched precariously at the bottom of a cliff known as Lovers Leap. The coach is about to embark on its daring journey across the French Broad River, guided only by moonlight. The horses stand ready, their muscles tense with energy as they prepare for the arduous task ahead. The scene exudes an air of romance and adventure, heightened by the atmospheric night setting. The post horn rests beside the driver's seat, symbolizing communication and connection in this vast country. It reminds us of a time when mail coaches were not just vehicles but lifelines linking distant communities. Linton's meticulous wood engraving technique brings every detail to life: from the intricate patterns etched into the coach's exterior to the subtle ripples on the river's surface. This print is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant—a testament to both artistic skill and literary appreciation for America's natural beauty. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era where transportation was an art form and nature held undiscovered wonders at every turn.
