EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Natural Bridge, Virginia in the late 19th century. The natural arch, formed by limestone gorge of Cedar Creek in Rockbridge County, stands as a testament to the beauty and wonder of America's geological formations. Its historical significance is equally remarkable, having been purchased by Thomas Jefferson from King George III of England for a mere 20 shillings in 1774. The image was captured by an unknown creator but featured in "A Tour Through the New World America" written by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell and published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London around 1897. This monochrome photograph showcases the stunning landscape that attracted tourists from all over the country during that era. As we gaze upon this scenic vista, we are transported to a time when discovery and exploration were at their peak. The natural bridge serves as both a landmark and tourist attraction, drawing visitors with its unique rock formation amidst picturesque surroundings. With its rich history and breathtaking scenery, this print reminds us of the immense beauty found within our own country's borders - a reminder to appreciate nature's wonders right here at home in the United States of America.
