EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hanna's Ore Plant, Erie, Pa. ca 1900," captures the industrial might and innovation of the early 20th century in the United States. Taken by renowned photographer William H. Jackson, the image showcases the Hanna Mining Company's ore plant located in Erie, Pennsylvania. The plant, operated by the Detroit Publishing Company under the direction of Edwin H. Husher, was a significant player in the ore industry during this period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the bustling activity of the plant, with several cranes and gantry systems at work, transporting ore from ships to the processing facilities. The ships, docked at the waterfront, are filled to capacity with raw materials, ready to be unloaded and transformed into valuable commodities. The plant's towering smokestacks release plumes of smoke into the sky, symbolizing the power and productivity of the industrial revolution. The image also highlights the intricate details of the plant's infrastructure, from the intricately designed machinery to the meticulously arranged buildings and structures. The dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in format of the photograph adds to its historical significance, as it was a popular method for capturing images during this era. The Hanna Mining Company, established by Marcus A. Hanna, was a major player in the iron and steel industry in the United States, and this photograph offers a unique perspective into the company's operations during its early days. Today, it serves as an important reminder of the industrial heritage and the role that companies like Hanna played in shaping the country's economic landscape.
