EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bureau of Reclamation - Shoshone Dam, Wyoming, Highest in World, 1912," captures an engineering marvel of the early 20th century. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts the Shoshone Dam located in Wyoming, United States, which held the title of the highest dam in the world at the time of its completion. The dam, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, was built to control the waters of the Snake River and provide irrigation and hydroelectric power to the arid regions of the American West. The photograph, taken by George William Harris or George H. Harris of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, showcases the grandeur of the dam against the rugged landscape of Wyoming. The dam's massive concrete structure, with its intricate design and meticulously placed stones, stands proudly against the backdrop of the clear, blue-green waters of the reservoir. The image also highlights the vast expanse of the river, which is now tamed by the dam, and the surrounding mountains and hills, adding to the sense of scale and magnitude. The photograph was taken during the 1910s and is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. It is a significant historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the progress and development of civil engineering in the United States during the early 20th century. The image is also a reminder of the importance of water management and the role it plays in the lives of people and communities in the arid regions of the country.
