Caldeno Falls is a cascading waterfall shown here with a standing man placed in the foreground, a detail that gives the view its sense of scale. The record places the scene in the Delaware Water Gap, the stretch of the Delaware River where it cuts through the Kittatinny Ridge along the Pennsylvania and New Jersey border. Engravings like this one were popular in the 19th century, when travelers and armchair readers alike wanted to see the region's rugged scenery, and the figure often served to show how grand the landscape appeared to visitors.
