EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Logging, felling the tree,' depicts the raw and untamed power of nature contrasted with the industrious determination of human labor during the late 19th century in America. The image, estimated to have been taken between 1880 and 1899, captures the moment as a lumberjack, bundled up against the wintry weather, expertly wields an axe to fell a towering tree in Michigan, United States of America. The tree, with its massive trunk and sprawling branches, stands defiant against the encroaching progress of the lumber industry. The scene is set against a backdrop of snow-covered ground and a clear, wintry sky, adding to the sense of isolation and ruggedness. The use of a dry plate or glass negative process further enhances the image's textured and grainy appearance, adding to its timeless and authentic feel. This photograph is a testament to the harsh realities and physical demands of the lumber industry during this era. It also highlights the important role that logging and lumber production played in shaping the country's economy and infrastructure. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, nature, or industrial heritage art.
