EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cumberland Gap, from the East, 1872" takes us back to a bygone era in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. The image showcases a watermill nestled near the pass through the majestic Cumberland Mountains on the border of Kentucky and Virginia, USA. The focal point of this picturesque scene is undoubtedly the timber-clad chimney standing tall amidst its scaffolding. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness in harnessing nature's power for industrial purposes. In stark contrast to this man-made structure, women can be seen diligently doing laundry in the foreground, adding an element of everyday life to this scenic landscape. This enchanting photograph is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and published by D. Appleton and Company in 1872. It captures not only the natural beauty but also provides insight into American literature and arts during that time period. As we gaze upon this image captured by W. H. Morse over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness both human endeavor and harmonious coexistence with nature. This print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage rooted deep within these mountains – where rivers flow freely, landscapes inspire awe, and communities thrive against all odds.
