EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the hustle and bustle of a Mississippi landing between 1900 and 1906. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past of America's rich river transportation history. The scene is filled with activity as people and goods are being unloaded from steamships and transported ashore via a gangplank. Horses and carts wait patiently to carry goods inland, while horse-drawn vehicles line the road leading away from the landing. In the background, a pair of steamships are anchored in the river, their smokestacks belching out plumes of steam. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, was likely taken as a dry plate or glass negative, a common photographic process of the time. The image is held in the collections of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a testament to its historical significance. The Mississippi River was a vital artery of transportation in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph captures the essence of that era, with its blend of water, land, and steam-powered transport, as well as the diverse population of people who made their living on the river. The image is a reminder of a time when the Mississippi River was a bustling hub of commerce and industry, connecting the country from north to south.
