• DESCRIPTION: From Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, edited by William Cullen Bryant and published between 1872 and 1874. This powerful view captures the southern side of Willamette Falls, a natural waterfall located on the Willamette River between Oregon City and West Linn, Oregon. As the largest waterfall in the Northwestern United States by volume and the seventeenth widest in the world, it has long been a source of both natural wonder and industrial promise. The engraving conveys the dynamic energy of the falls and the dramatic beauty of the surrounding landscape, evoking the wildness of the period and the untamed character of the Pacific Northwest in the 19th century.
