Diana's Bath is a forest waterfall, named for the Roman goddess of the hunt, whose legend has her bathing in secluded pools. Here the falls are shown as a quiet, shaded cascade set among the rock and trees of the Kittatinny Ridge, where the Delaware River cuts through the mountains at the Water Gap. In the nineteenth century, illustrated magazines and travel guides used woodcut engravings like this one to introduce readers to scenic spots such as these, which drew summer visitors to the region. The fine parallel lines of the engraving give the water and foliage their texture, a technique that was common in the period's printed landscapes.
