No. 139a. Head of Niota Chute with Closing Dam [near Fort Madison, Iowa], 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating cyanotype print by Henry Bosse that takes us back to the late 19th century in America. The photograph showcases the majestic Mississippi River flowing through the picturesque landscape of Iowa. In this monochromatic image, shades of blue dominate, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The oval shape adds an artistic touch, drawing our attention to the focal point - the head of Niota Chute with its imposing closing dam. This engineering marvel stands as a testament to human ingenuity and control over nature. Bosse's composition skillfully captures both the grandeur of nature and man-made structures harmoniously coexisting in this rural setting. The river's gentle curves lead our gaze towards distant horizons, reminding us of America's vastness and untamed beauty. This photograph serves as a valuable historical document, preserving not only the physical features but also providing insights into life during that era. It transports us back to a time when rivers were vital transportation routes for trade and commerce. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork represents Bosse's dedication to capturing American landscapes with precision and artistry. As we admire "No. 139a" we are reminded of our country's rich heritage and how it has shaped our present-day United States.
