Original hand-etched wood engraving. Full page illustration in The Aldine in April 1873 Condition Very Good. Light toning but image and paper intact. Image is crisp and clear. Size is 11" x 16". . . . . . In April 1873, The Aldine, a prominent art journal, featured Thomas Moran's illustration "Tower Creek, Below the Falls," showcasing his mastery in capturing the rugged beauty of Yellowstone's landscape. Created as a wood engraving based on Moran's earlier watercolor sketches from his 1871 expedition with the Hayden Geological Survey, the artwork depicts the dramatic scenery below Tower Falls, where the creek winds through towering rock formations and lush wilderness. Moran's intricate detailing and evocative use of light and shadow highlight the sublime power of nature, reflecting his pivotal role in visually documenting the American West. This illustration, published years after his journey, underscores his lasting influence in promoting Yellowstone's wonders, which helped establish it as the nation's first national park in 1872.
