EDITORS COMMENTS
Monroe Landing on Rice Creek, between 1880 and 1897, is a captivating photograph by William H. Jackson that offers a glimpse into the past of Florida's St. Johns River. The image, taken from a glass transparency, depicts a serene scene of Monroe Landing, a popular arrival point for travelers and goods transported along the river. The photograph captures a group of men, likely employees of the Detroit Publishing Company, as they wait on the banks of the river for the arrival of boats laden with passengers and cargo. The men, dressed in work clothes, appear to be in a state of anticipation, their gazes fixed on the horizon where the paddle boats can be seen approaching. The landscape is dotted with tall trees draped in Spanish moss, their branches reaching out towards the river. The moss, scientifically known as Tillandsia usneoides, adds a touch of greenery and texture to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The water of Rice Creek reflects the clear blue sky above, creating a mirror-like effect that enhances the tranquility of the image. The photograph provides a glimpse into the historical significance of the St. Johns River as a vital transportation route during the 19th century. Monroe Landing, located in what is now the city of Palatka, Florida, was a key stop for travelers and goods moving between the Atlantic Ocean and the interior of the United States. The arrival of boats at Monroe Landing marked the beginning of a new journey for many, as they continued their travels upriver or headed inland towards the heart of the country. This photograph, taken by William H. Jackson, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Florida and the United States. It offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic location on the St. Johns River.
