Eagle Rock, Orange, 1874. Creator: A. Measom
Eagle Rock, Orange, 1874. Artist sketching Eagle Rock which marks the boundary between the towns of Montclair and West Orange, New Jersey, USA. Eagle Rock is seen towering up in majestic grandeur, as bold and rugged as when only the red-men inhabited this charming region. The eagles, which gave it its name, are now but seldom seen; yet the hoary, scarred projection seems to the eye as distant and as desolate as when it was indeed the home of the king of birds. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]

Eagle Rock, Orange, 1874 - A Glimpse into the Majestic Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1874, capturing a moment in time when artist A. Measom sketched Eagle Rock, an iconic boundary marker between Montclair and West Orange in New Jersey, USA. The image showcases the rugged beauty of this natural formation as it towers with grandeur against the backdrop of a charming region once inhabited solely by Native Americans. Named after the eagles that once called it home, Eagle Rock still retains its hoary and scarred appearance despite these majestic birds being rarely seen today. As we gaze upon this print from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant, we are transported to a distant era where nature reigned supreme. The engraving portrays Measom diligently at work on his easel while surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees. This snapshot captures not only the artist's occupation but also highlights the harmonious connection between man and nature during this period. Through this artwork's intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, we can almost hear whispers of history echoing through time. It serves as a reminder of our ever-changing world while honoring the enduring beauty found within our landscapes. As we admire this remarkable piece from A. Measom's collection held dear by Heritage Images, let us appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance—a testament to how art can preserve moments long gone for generations yet to come.
