EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of sheer bravery and adventure. Photographer Ellsworth Kolb is seen defying gravity as he scales a towering wall of rock, an astonishing 400 feet above the mine on the Hummingbird Trail in Arizona's majestic Grand Canyon. The image showcases not only the breathtaking beauty of this natural wonder but also highlights the audacity and determination of those who dared to explore its depths. At the upper right corner, a ladder leads to a cliff dwelling, reminding us of the ancient civilizations that once thrived within these rugged cliffs. In 1913, when this photograph was taken, visiting national parks like the Grand Canyon was still relatively uncommon. The lone climber symbolizes both the intrepid spirit of early tourists and their willingness to confront danger head-on for an unforgettable experience. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of our own capacity for resilience in face of adversity. It inspires us to embrace challenges with courage and tenacity just as Ellsworth Kolb did over a century ago. This remarkable snapshot captures not only one man's daring climb but also encapsulates the timeless allure and grandeur of one America's most iconic landscapes - The Grand Canyon.
