EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 8 x 10 inch photograph captures the idyllic scene of the Clinton River summer resort in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, between 1880 and 1899. The image, created using a dry plate or glass negative process, transports us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and relaxation. The tranquil riverfront setting is dotted with horses and ponies, suggesting that this was a popular destination for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. The horses and ponies, likely belonging to the resort or available for hire, add a sense of adventure and excitement to the scene. Mount Clemens, located in Macomb County, Michigan, was a popular summer resort destination during the late 19th century. The Clinton River, which runs through the town, provided a picturesque backdrop for vacationers seeking to escape the heat of the city. The resort offered a range of activities, including boating, fishing, and picnicking. This photograph, from the collection of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American travel and leisure during the 19th century. The image is attributed to an unknown photographer, but it is believed that it may have been taken by either Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were active photographers in the Detroit Publishing Company during this time period. Regardless of the photographer's identity, this photograph captures the essence of a bygone era and invites us to imagine the experiences of those who once enjoyed the simple pleasures of a summer resort by the Clinton River in Mt. Clemens.
