EDITORS COMMENTS
Ableman's Narrows, Sauk County, Wisconsin, USA (circa 1880-1899) - This 8 x 10 inch photograph captures a moment in time from the late 19th century in the United States. The scene depicts Ableman's Narrows, a geographical feature located in Sauk County, Wisconsin. The narrows are a scenic area where the Sauk River passes through a narrow, hilly section, surrounded by lush greenery. In the foreground, a quarryman is seen extracting stones from the hillside using a pulley system. The quarry was likely a significant source of income for the settlers in the area during this time. The quarryman, dressed in work clothes, is focused intently on his task, while his crates are stacked nearby, ready to be filled. The photograph was taken using a dry plate or glass negative process, a common method during the late 1800s. The image is rich in historical detail, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the settlers in rural America during this period. The hills and hillsides in the background add to the sense of isolation and hard work required to make a living in this rugged terrain. The photograph is believed to have been taken by an unknown photographer, possibly Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were active in the Detroit Publishing Company during this time. The image is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress and serves as an important reminder of the country's rich history and the hardworking people who shaped it.
