'Chimney Rock, near Fountain City', 1874. Rock formation on the River Mississippi in Wisconsin, USA. In the foreground men steer a large raft with oars - smoke issues from one of the timber buildings on the raft. On the right is a paddle steamer. 'The spectator who views this peculiar mass of limestone from above the river will fail to see why it received its name. But, from below, and passing abreast, one observes that the extreme mass on the right hand is altogether detached, and presents a very striking resemblance to the enormous stone chimneys which are built up outside the houses in Virginia'. 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]
