介绍（中）	当政府为乔治·惠勒1872年的探险队拨款时，蒂莫西·奥沙利文已经报名参加了克拉伦斯·金的调查。惠勒因此请曾在美国医学博物馆工作的摄影师威廉·H·贝尔接替奥沙利文的位置与奥沙利文不同，他将景观问题视为空位和质量的合理安排，贝尔戏剧性地、垂直地感知了景观，这与人的直立姿势有关。奥沙利文以平面和宝石的方式创作，雕刻出强大的色调块，贝尔则以深度、，在前景的岩石上衬托出大峡谷的陡峭景色。在这里，从倾斜的悬崖峭壁的阴影中，观众可以看到峡谷对面墙上的阳光，就像黎明升起的幕布这张照片是科罗拉多河系列的一部分，是惠勒1872年拍摄的35张贝尔照片的罕见专辑。伦敦大都会博物馆收藏了惠勒1871年拍摄的35幅奥沙利文照片。这两张专辑中的版画可能是奥沙利文在1872-73年冬天制作的，要么是为了鼓励下一季的拨款，要么是作为惠勒调查的合成专辑的原型，政府将于1874-75年出版。
介绍（英）	By the time the government's appropriations for George Wheeler's 1872 expedition were made, Timothy O'Sullivan had already signed up with Clarence King's survey for the season. Wheeler therefore asked William H. Bell, a photographer who had worked for the American Medical Museum, to take O'Sullivan's place in his corps. Unlike O'Sullivan, who regarded the problem of landscape as a rational arrangement of vacancy and mass, Bell perceived landscape dramatically and vertically, related to the upright posture of man. Whereas O'Sullivan composed in a planar and lapidary fashion, carving out powerful blocks of tone, Bell composed in depth, setting off the plunging perspectives of the Grand Canyon against the rocks in the foreground. Here, from the shadow of the slanting overhang of a cliff, the viewer sees the blare of sun on the canyon's opposite wall like dawn's curtain rising. This photograph is part of the Colorado River Series in a rare album of thirty-five prints of Bell's photographs for Wheeler's 1872 season. A companion volume of thirty-five prints of O'Sullivan's photographs for Wheeler's 1871 season is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum. The prints in both albums probably were made by O'Sullivan in the winter of 1872-73, either to encourage appropriations for the next season or as prototypes for the composite albums of the Wheeler surveys that the government would publish in 1874-75.
