EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the bustling port of Riesa, Saxony, Germany in 1912. The image showcases an impressive sight - towering port cranes standing tall against the backdrop of the Elbe River. These sturdy cranes were essential for loading and unloading cargo from the barges that navigated through these waters. The scene is filled with activity as paddle steamers gracefully glide along the river, their smokestacks billowing clouds of steam into the air. Railway coaches can be seen lined up on nearby tracks, ready to transport goods further inland or connect with other parts of Germany's extensive rail network. Landkreis Meissen, a district known for its picturesque landscapes and historical significance, provides a stunning setting for this snapshot in time. The Elbkai serves as a hub for trade and transportation, where lastkahn schleppers (tugboats) maneuver skillfully amidst the barges. This remarkable photograph captures not only a moment frozen in history but also highlights the importance of infrastructure and logistics in shaping economic development during this era. It reminds us of Germany's rich industrial heritage and its role as a vital player in Europe's maritime trade network. As we admire this print from afar, it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone while celebrating Saxony's vibrant past as an integral part of Germany's shipping industry.
