The waterfall at Moss Grotto, tucked into the hills near the Delaware Water Gap, is the feature that sets this engraving apart from the many views of the gap's river and cliffs. A man stands on the rocks beside the falling water, which gives the viewer a sense of scale against the dense growth and stone. Wood engravings like this were common in illustrated magazines and travel books in the 19th century, when a growing public wanted pictures of scenic places they might never visit. Such prints helped turn spots like this grotto into destinations for summer tourists arriving by rail and steamboat.
