We made several photos which will give me all the details I want if I conclude to paint the view.
"Thomas Moran" from Bolton, England was an American painter and printmaker of the Hudson River School in New York whose work often featured the Rocky Mountains. Moran and his family took residence in New York where he obtained work as an artist. He was a younger brother of the noted marine artist Edward Moran, with whom he shared a studio. A talented illustrator and exquisite colorist, Thomas Moran was hired as an illustrator at Scribner's Monthly. During the late 1860s, he was appointed the chief illustrator for the magazine, a position that helped him launch his career as one of the premier painters of the American landscape.
Moran along with Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Hill (painter)/Thomas Hill, and William Keith (artist)/William Keith are sometimes referred to as belonging to the Rocky Mountain School of landscape painters because of all of the Western landscape art/landscapes made by this group.

About noon we made another water pocket in the lava rocks about a mile from the Grand Chasm.
We had reached the Canon on the second level or edge of the great gulf. Above and around us rose a wall of 2000 feet and below us a vast chasm 2500 feet in perpendicular depth and 1/2 a mile wide.
The color of the Great Canon itself is red, a light Indian Red, and the material sandstone and red marble and is in terraces all the way down.
From our camp at the pocket the wall of the Grand Canon was visible some 15 miles down the valley.
