介绍（中）	当艺术家William Guy Wall和作家John Agg参观这个位于哈德逊河格伦斯瀑布以北的遗址时，很难进入。伴随图像的文本告诉我们，"当这些瀑布在旅行者的视线中突然爆裂时，只要看一眼就足以弥补他可能遇到的所有困难。整条河似乎没有一片完整的水，而是垂直下落……整个河流似乎强行穿过了阻碍其前进的悬崖拦截屏障；愤怒得无法控制，震耳欲聋。"在一片平缓而崎岖的斜坡上，由它的冲动所扔下的巨大而顽强的碎片组成。"这幅图片来自哈德逊河作品集，这是一座由艺术家、作家和出版商合作制作的美国版画纪念碑。1820年夏天，出生于爱尔兰的长城在哈德逊河沿岸进行了巡回演出和素描，然后画了一系列大型水彩画。有人提议以四套一组的方式向订户发行同等规模的版画，约翰·鲁本·史密斯聘请处理盘子。几乎立刻，史密斯就被伦敦训练有素的水彩雕刻师约翰·希尔取代了，他完成了前四块版画，到1825年又制作了十六块。在接下来的十年里，Portfolio的流行激发了人们对美国景观的新欣赏，并为哈德逊河学校铺平了道路。
介绍（英）	When the artist William Guy Wall and writer John Agg visited this site, north of Glens Falls on the Hudson, it not easy to access. The text accompanying the image tells us that, "a moment's view of these Falls...as they suddenly burst upon the sight of the traveller...is sufficient compensation for all the difficulties he may have encountered. Instead of one unbroken sheet of water, falling perpendicularly...the whole body of the river seems to have forced a passage through the intercepting barrier of cliffs which obstructed its course; with ungovernable fury and deafening clamour, over a gradual but rugged declivity, composed of the massive and tenacious fragments which its impetuosity has thrown down." The image comes from the Hudson River Portfolio, a monument of American printmaking produced through the collaboration of artists, a writer, and publishers. In the summer of 1820, the Irish-born Wall toured and sketched along the Hudson, then painted a series of large watercolors. Prints of equal scale were proposed—to be issued to subscribers in sets of four—and John Rubens Smith hired to work the plates. Almost immediately, Smith was replaced by the skilled London-trained aquatint engraver John Hill, who finished the first four plates, and produced sixteen more by 1825. Over the next decade, the popularity of the Portfolio stimulated new appreciation for American landscape, and prepared the way for the Hudson River School.
