"The Transept, Kaibab Division, Grand Canon. An Amphitheater of the Second Order", Moran, Thomas

This fabulous large composition was drawn by the famous artist, Thomas Moran. The Transept is a beautiful place on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Moran painted several huge murals of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon for the Senate; three are currently hanging in the National Gallery. A stunning and beautifully rendered panoramic view. This plate is from Clarence Dutton's atlas published to accompany USGS Monograph No. 2 "Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District."
