Pikes Peak, from Garden of the Gods, 1874. Creator: Phineas F. Annin
Pikes Peak, from Garden of the Gods, 1874. View of Pikes Peak from rock formations near Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. At the " gateway" we are between two precipitous walls of sandstone, two hundred feet apart, and three hundred and fifty feet high...beyond that, in the distance, we have a glimpse of the faint snow-line of Pikes Peak. The scene is strangely impressive. The walls form almost an amphitheatre, enclosing a patch of level earth. In the foreground there is an embankment consisting of apparently detached rocks, some of them distorted into mushroom-shape, and others secreting shallow pools of water in their darkling hollows. A rock rises midway between the walls at the gateway, and elsewhere in the garden there are monumental forms that remind us of the valley of the Yellowstone. 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]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pikes Peak, from Garden of the Gods, 1874" by Phineas F. Annin takes us back in time to witness the breathtaking beauty of Colorado Springs, USA. The image showcases a mesmerizing view of Pikes Peak as seen from the unique rock formations near Garden of the Gods. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we find ourselves standing at the gateway between two towering sandstone walls that stretch an impressive three hundred and fifty feet high. The space between these precipitous walls forms an almost amphitheatre-like enclosure, creating a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. In the foreground, our attention is drawn to an embankment composed of seemingly detached rocks with intriguing shapes - some twisted into mushroom-like forms while others hold shallow pools of water within their dark hollows. This juxtaposition adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the already striking landscape. Further enhancing its allure are monumental rock formations scattered throughout the garden reminiscent of those found in Yellowstone Valley. These natural wonders serve as reminders that nature's artistry knows no bounds. Phineas F. Annin's masterful capture transports us to a time when untouched wilderness was abundant and invites us to appreciate both the majesty and delicate intricacies present in our natural world.
