"Grand Canon, Colorado River, Near Paria Creek, Looking East" is a notable photograph taken by the British-born American photographer William Bell in 1872. Bell, who was a prominent figure in the field of 19th-century photography, is best known for his work documenting the American West during the post-Civil War era. This particular photograph is part of a larger body of work created during the Wheeler Survey, a series of expeditions led by Lieutenant George M. Wheeler aimed at mapping the United States west of the 100th meridian.

The image captures a breathtaking view of the Grand Canyon, focusing on the Colorado River near Paria Creek, and looks eastward. Bell's photograph is distinguished by its meticulous composition and the clarity with which it renders the rugged landscape. The photograph not only serves as a visual record of the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon but also as a scientific document that contributed to the understanding and appreciation of the region's geography and geology.

Bell's use of the large-format camera and the wet plate collodion process, a common photographic technique of the time, allowed him to produce images with exceptional detail and tonal range. The photograph's historical significance is further enhanced by its role in the Wheeler Survey, which was instrumental in the exploration and documentation of the American West during a period of rapid expansion and development.

"Grand Canon, Colorado River, Near Paria Creek, Looking East" is preserved as part of the collection at the Library of Congress, among other institutions. It remains an important artifact of 19th-century American photography and exploration, offering viewers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring landscapes that captivated both contemporary audiences and future generations.
