EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the immense power of water in the United States during the 19th century. The print, titled "A Great Water Power in the United States" showcases a breathtaking view of a point of intake along Grass River, which is connected to the mighty St. Lawrence River. The image depicts an impressive power house situated on the north bank of the river, surrounded by lush greenery and towering bluffs. The canal leading to this powerhouse can be seen, channeling water from upper dam towards its destination. The forceful flow of water is discharged with great intensity, symbolizing the enormous potential for energy generation. Intriguingly, this scene also offers a glimpse into daily life at that time as it shows a town called Massena located nearby. This suggests that not only was this powerful waterfall harnessed for electricity production but also supplied water to support various factories and industries within close proximity. Created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in May 1897, this engraving beautifully captures both nature's grandeur and human ingenuity in utilizing such abundant natural resources. It serves as a reminder of how mankind has always sought ways to harness and benefit from our environment while simultaneously appreciating its awe-inspiring beauty.
