EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Logging, cutting lengths' and dated between 1880 and 1899, captures a moment in the bustling lumber industry of the United States during the 1890s. The image, taken in Michigan, USA, showcases a group of lumberjacks at work in the wintry woods. Dressed in heavy clothing to protect against the cold, they are seen cutting lengths of wood using large saws. The snow-covered ground and surrounding trees add to the harsh, rugged atmosphere of the scene. The lumber industry was a significant part of the American economy during this period, with Michigan being one of the leading producers of lumber. Companies such as Detroit Publishing and others played a crucial role in documenting and promoting the industry through photographs like this one. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, is believed to be a glass negative or a dry plate negative, common techniques used during this time. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but the image is a valuable historical record of the logging profession and the harsh working conditions endured by the lumberjacks of the late 19th century. The Library of Congress holds this photograph in its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate the rich history of the American lumber industry.
