The Delaware Water Gap is a notch cut through the Kittatinny Ridge where the Delaware River forces its way between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and this engraving centers on that dramatic passage rather than on a town or a bridge. Nineteenth-century artists were drawn to the gap as an emblem of American scenery, and the moonlit treatment here turns a working river valley into something quiet and monumental. Wood engraving, with its fine white lines and deep shadows, suited such nocturnal views well, and prints like this helped spread the reputation of the region among readers who would never see it firsthand.
