Summary: "American Scenery, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Nathaniel Parker Willis is a collection of illustrated accounts capturing the majestic landscapes of America, written in the mid-19th century. The work showcases various natural wonders, including rivers, lakes, and mountains, illustrating the unique beauty of the American landscape through detailed drawings and engravings by W. H. Bartlett. Willis aims to highlight the contrasts between American scenery and that of Europe, examining the sublime aspects of the New World as perceived by both travelers and artists. The opening of this volume lays out a vivid description of American landscapes, including reflections on the lushness of its scenery and the sense of a new beginning that America represents compared to the ancient histories of Europe. Willis discusses the remarkable features of America, such as its expansive rivers and untamed nature, contrasting them with the historic ruins prevalent in European art. Notably, the text invites readers to appreciate the potential of the American landscape, evoking a sense of wonder about the future of the land as it transforms and develops, culminating in the exploration of specific locations like the grandeur of Niagara Falls and the picturesque view from West Point.
