EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the majestic Str. Falls City passing under the High Bridge in Ky., around 1907. The image, created by an unknown photographer, showcases the beauty and grandeur of America's waterways during the 1900s. The Detroit Publishing Company, known for its high-quality photographic reproductions, likely published this silver gelatin glass transparency. The Str. Falls City, a paddle steamer, glides effortlessly on the tranquil waters of the Kentucky River, its powerful paddle wheels churning up a gentle wake. In the background, the High Bridge, a railway bridge, arches gracefully over the river, connecting the two banks. The bridge, a marvel of engineering at the time, is adorned with ornate detailing and appears sturdy against the backdrop of the rolling hills and lush greenery. The photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the rich history of transportation in the United States. The era of the paddle steamers and railways marked a significant period of growth and development in the country, and this image offers a glimpse into that fascinating time. The Detroit Publishing Company's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the sharp contrasts and clarity of the image. The glass transparency, with its silver gelatin emulsion, retains the intricate textures and patterns of the boats, bridge, and surrounding landscape. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art, showcasing the country's industrial and geographical features with breathtaking precision and beauty.
