Few visitors to the Grand Canyon ever see the view this print records, a vantage that the title promises tourists miss. The date is given only as between 1948 and 1949, and the caption card that supplied it has not been verified, so the exact moment is uncertain. In those years the canyon drew large crowds of automobile travelers to the South and North Rims, and photographers often sought out lesser-known overlooks to set their work apart from the standard postcard scene.
