EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene on the Peshtigo River in Wisconsin, circa 1897. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their lens skillfully portrays the natural beauty of this American landscape. The Peshtigo River derives its name from the city it flows through, which tragically fell victim to the devastating Peshtigo Fire on October 8,1871. During that horrific event, countless individuals sought refuge along these very riverbanks as they attempted to escape the relentless inferno. The image is sourced from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in approximately 1897. This remarkable piece of literature takes readers on an exploration of nineteenth-century America's geographical wonders and cultural discoveries. In this particular photograph, a lone figure stands amidst a picturesque bend in the river surrounded by lush woodland and towering trees. The serene water surface reflects both man-made structures and nature's abundant offerings with breathtaking clarity. As we gaze upon this monochrome vista frozen in time, we are reminded not only of our connection to nature but also of historical events that have shaped our world today. It serves as a poignant reminder of human resilience and our ability to find solace amidst even the most harrowing circumstances.
