EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically around 1911, when Oregon's logging industry was at its peak. The image showcases an impressive Oregon logging train, a vital mode of transportation for moving timber from the dense forests to various destinations. The scene is bustling with activity as men, dressed in rugged work attire, can be seen going about their daily tasks. These hardworking loggers were the backbone of the industry, tirelessly cutting down trees and loading them onto the train cars. The steam locomotive stands tall and powerful amidst a backdrop of towering trees and wooden dwellings that served as temporary housing for these laborers. This postcard captures not just a moment in history but also reflects the immense scale of this booming industry. It symbolizes both progress and hardship; progress through technological advancements like steam locomotives that revolutionized transportation during that era, yet hardship due to grueling manual labor endured by these dedicated workers. As we gaze upon this historic photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to a time when North America's Pacific Northwest region thrived on industries like logging and agriculture. This lithographic masterpiece by Louis Scheiner serves as a visual reminder of our past while honoring those who played pivotal roles in shaping our present-day society.
