The Delaware Water Gap is a notch cut through the Kittatinny Ridge where the Delaware River has carved a path between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and this picture is titled for that gap itself rather than a town or bridge nearby. The river has kept its course through the ridge for a very long time, even as the land around it rose and wore down, which gave the scene its dramatic cliffs and the sense of a river forcing its way through stone. Landscape views like this one were prized by travelers and artists in the nineteenth century, when the gap drew visitors looking for scenery that felt both wild and within reach of the cities to the east.
