EDITORS COMMENTS
White Fish Bay from Terrace, between 1880 and 1899" is an exquisite 8 x 10 inch photograph capturing a breathtaking view of White Fish Bay in Wisconsin, United States. The image, dating back to the late 19th century, around 1880s to 1890s, showcases the natural beauty of the waterfront during a period of American history when the country was undergoing rapid industrialization. The photograph, taken from a terrace, offers a panoramic perspective of the bay, with its calm, glassy waters reflecting the surrounding landscape. The image is a testament to the artistic prowess of the unknown photographer who skillfully captured the essence of the scene using a dry plate negative or glass negative process, a common photographic technique during that era. White Fish Bay, located in the Door County region of Wisconsin, is a geographical feature that has long been a source of inspiration for artists and photographers. The bay's name is believed to have originated from the Ojibwe word "wajiwagamauk," which means "whitefish place." The area was a popular destination for early settlers and vacationers, who were drawn to its natural beauty and abundant resources. This photograph is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of American photography and serves as a reminder of the country's natural wonders that existed before the onset of commercialization and urbanization. The Library of Congress, a premier institution dedicated to the preservation of American culture and history, holds this rare and captivating image in its vast collection.
