EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1880 and 1901, showcases the serene beauty of Water Works Park located in Detroit, Michigan, United States of America. The image, from the collection of the Library of Congress, captures the park during a time when it was primarily used for water supply purposes. The photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the skillful artistry of the unknown 19th and early 20th century photographer. The use of a dry plate negative or glass negative process adds to the photograph's historical significance and timeless appeal. The image reveals a tranquil scene of the waterworks, with the water's edge gently lapping against the shore. The park, situated along the water's edge, is dotted with trees, providing a picturesque backdrop. The Congressional Library's acquisition of this photograph underscores its historical importance and preserves it for future generations. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the country's heritage and the evolution of water supply systems in the United States. The image's monochromatic color palette, characteristic of the era, adds to its nostalgic charm and highlights the natural beauty of the park and its surroundings. The photograph's exact creation date remains a mystery, but its preservation in the Library of Congress ensures that the history and allure of Water Works Park during this period will continue to be appreciated and studied by scholars, historians, and photography enthusiasts alike.
