EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between 1910 and 1920, showcases the breathtaking scene of the Site of Old Fort William Henry on the shores of Lake George in New York State, USA. The image, of unknown origin and creator, captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time. The photograph features a panoramic view of the site, with the remnants of the historic fortifications standing proudly against the backdrop of a lush, green forest. The trees, adorned with vibrant autumn foliage, frame the scene, creating a picturesque tableau. A pavilion and a winding path can be seen in the foreground, inviting visitors to explore the rich history of the area. Old Fort William Henry, a significant historical landmark, played a pivotal role in the French and Indian War. The fort was built in 1755 and was the site of a famous battle in 1757. Today, it stands as a testament to the region's heritage and serves as a popular tourist destination. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, beautifully captures the exterior of the fort, with its weathered walls and towering turrets. Seated on the grassy knoll, a female figure adds a sense of scale to the image, providing a glimpse into the lives of those who once called this place home. The photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a stunning example of early 20th-century photography and a valuable addition to any collection of American history or landscape imagery.
