EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Alma Sanitarium, gentlemen's writing room, Alma, Mich. between 1900 and 1910," was captured by renowned American photographer William H. Jackson. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the spacious and elegant gentlemen's writing room of the Alma Sanitarium in Alma, Michigan, between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The room, filled with an air of quiet sophistication, is adorned with an assortment of antique furniture, including a grand mahogany desk and several high-backed leather chairs. The large, sunlit windows provide a picturesque view of the surrounding countryside, while the room's high ceilings and ample natural light create an inviting atmosphere for contemplation and creativity. The Alma Sanitarium, a popular spa town in Gratiot County, Michigan, was renowned for its healing waters and luxurious accommodations. This writing room, located within the sanitarium, served as a retreat for the gentlemen guests, offering them a peaceful and private space to read, write, and reflect. The room's decor also reveals evidence of the Freemasonry movement, which was popular during this time period. Masonic symbols and emblems can be seen on the walls and furniture, adding an intriguing layer of history to this already fascinating image. This photograph, a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, was taken by Jackson during his travels across America documenting the country's history and heritage. It is now part of the permanent collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit.
