EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, showcases an iconic view of Niagara Falls and its surrounding industrial landscape. The image features the breathtaking natural wonder of Niagara Falls, with its powerful waters cascading over the edge and creating a magnificent mist that shrouds the scene. In the foreground, several mills can be seen, their smokestacks billowing plumes of steam into the sky. These mills, which harnessed the power of the Niagara River for industrial purposes, were a significant part of the region's economy during this time. Dominating the left side of the image is the impressive Grand Trunk (Upper Steel Arch) Bridge, also known as the Detroit-Hamiltion Bridge or the Honeymoon Bridge. This railroad bridge, which spans the Niagara River and connects the United States and Canada, was completed in 1897 and was a marvel of engineering at the time. Its distinctive steel arch design allowed for the unobstructed view of the falls, making it a popular attraction for tourists. The photograph, which is believed to have been published by Detroit Publishing Company, showcases the convergence of industry and nature in this historic scene. The image is a photomechanical print, also known as a photochrom, which was a popular method of producing color prints during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Niagara Falls and the role it played in the development of the region's industrial economy.
