Plate 35. Echo City, Looking Up Weber River

Andrew Joseph Russell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a winding river flowing through a valley between hills. The view is elevated, offering a broad perspective of the scene. Closest to us, the riverbank is rocky with sparse vegetation, leading to a steep bank that meets the hills. On one side, leafless trees line the riverbank. On the other side, buildings are visible on a cliff slope. The horizon is low, with hills gradually rising towards the top of the image. The photograph features a sepia color palette, accentuating the natural beauty of the landscape. The composition captures the river's journey through the isolated terrain.
