EDITORS COMMENTS
Rock of Ages, American Falls, Niagara" is a stunning photograph capturing the raw power and beauty of Niagara Falls during the late 19th century. Taken between 1890 and 1899 by renowned American photographer William H. Jackson, this 8 x 10 inch dry plate or glass negative image presents a dramatic and awe-inspiring view of the American Falls, a section of Niagara Falls located on the American side of the Niagara River. The photograph showcases the erosion caused by the relentless torrent of water cascading over the rocks, carving out the landscape and shaping the geological features of this natural wonder. The image is a testament to the passage of time and the forces of nature, as the rocks appear worn and weathered, yet still standing strong against the powerful current. The photograph was taken during a time when Niagara Falls was a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world. Jackson's photograph captures the sense of wonder and awe that drew people to this scenic location, making it a valuable historical and scientific record of the falls during this period. William H. Jackson was a prolific photographer, known for his landscape and geological photography, and this image is a prime example of his talent. Jackson's photograph is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, making it an important heritage art piece and a valuable addition to the historical record of Niagara Falls and American photography during the late 19th century. The image is a reminder of the majesty and power of nature, and the importance of preserving and documenting these natural wonders for future generations. The photograph also highlights the role of photography in capturing and sharing the beauty and wonder of the world around us.
