EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1898, showcases the Apostle Islands Lighthouse landing on Devil's Island in Lake Superior, Wisconsin, United States. The image, a dry plate or glass negative, was likely captured by an unknown photographer, although it was published by Detroit Publishing Company through their subsidiary, Congressional Library. The photograph presents a breathtaking scene of the rocky, rugged coastline of Devil's Island, with the lighthouse standing proudly at its edge. The tranquil waters of Lake Superior gently lap against the shore, revealing the intricate textures of the island's cliffs and rocks. Two boats are anchored at the landing, their masts and sails adding a sense of scale and activity to the serene landscape. The Apostle Islands, a group of twenty-one islands located in Lake Superior, have been a source of fascination for explorers and settlers since the late 17th century. The lighthouse on Devil's Island, built in 1891, was essential for the safety of mariners navigating the treacherous waters of Lake Superior. This photograph, a testament to the rich history and natural beauty of the Apostle Islands, offers a glimpse into the past and the daily life of the late 19th century in the United States.
