EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Upper Light at Sunrise, Sault Sainte Marie, Mich.' dates back to the early 20th century, between 1900 and 1910. The creator of this stunning image remains unknown. The photograph depicts the picturesque sunrise over the Upper Light in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, USA. The Upper Light, also known as the Sault Sainte Marie Lighthouse, is a historic structure located at the Soo Locks, where Lake Superior meets the St. Marys River. During this era, the lighthouse played a crucial role in guiding cargo ships and other vessels safely through the locks and the treacherous waters of the St. Marys River. The photograph captures the essence of the region's rich maritime heritage, with several ships anchored in the river, waiting for their turn to pass through the locks. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size. The image is a testament to the scientific advancements of the time, as the dry plate process allowed photographers to capture images without the need for a darkroom on-site. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, astronomy, or geography. The concept of the rising sun over the lighthouse and the river creates a breathtaking scene, reminiscent of the solar system's celestial bodies. The image is held in the collections of the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of historical and cultural artifacts. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the country's industrial might and the importance of water transport in the United States. The image is a reminder of the region's unique geographical features and the Chippewa people's connection to the land and waterways. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and historic representation of a bygone era, capturing the essence of a moment in time that continues to inspire and intrigue.
