The Snow Hill Salt Works, on the Kanawha River
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to 19th century America. This black and white illustration showcases the impressive industrial complex nestled along the picturesque river course of the Kanawha River. The scene depicts a bustling operation with smoke billowing from tall chimneys and workers going about their tasks. The Snow Hill Salt Works played a significant role in early American history, as salt was an essential commodity for preserving food and supporting various industries. This engraving offers us a glimpse into the state government's involvement in this vital enterprise. The artist, J Wells Champney, meticulously captured every detail of this thriving facility from his original sketches. His work beautifully portrays both the grandeur of nature with mountains towering in the background and human ingenuity through man-made structures dominating the foreground. This print not only serves as a historical record but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when industry was booming along America's rivers. It reminds us of our nation's rich heritage and its relentless pursuit of progress. As we admire this artwork, we are transported to another time - one where hard work, innovation, and natural beauty converged to shape our country's destiny.
