EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1889, visitors can be seen paying their respects to President Harrison at the White House. The image captures a moment in history when the new administration was being welcomed with open arms by the American people.
One particularly interesting detail in this photograph is the presidential train being "held up" at Harrisburg by a little son of Governor Beaver, who is taking a photograph of General Harrison and his family. This charming anecdote adds a personal touch to the scene, showing that even powerful political figures were not immune to moments of lightheartedness.
The close-up shots of ice-harvest scenes on an ice-farm near Athens on the Hudson River provide a glimpse into daily life during this era. These images serve as a reminder of how much has changed since then, yet also highlight the enduring traditions and practices that have stood the test of time.
Overall, this print offers a fascinating look into 19th-century America, showcasing both political events and everyday activities. It serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to connect with our past and gain insight into what life was like during President Harrison's time in office.
