EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the essence of salmon fishing on the Columbia River in North America around 1905. In this group effort, a team of determined fishermen can be seen braving the wet and rugged terrain to catch these prized fish. The men, dressed in old-fashioned clothing and hats, wade into the river with their fishing nets held high, ready to scoop up an abundance of Pacific salmon. The scene is set against a picturesque hillside backdrop, adding to the charm and nostalgia of this antique print. A small fishing boat is anchored nearby, serving as a base for operations as they navigate through the bony fish-filled waters. The riverbank is bustling with activity as people gather to witness this impressive display of skill and dedication. The image showcases not only the beauty of nature but also highlights human occupation and traditional methods used by fishermen during that era. It serves as a reminder of our connection to both land and watercraft while engaging in age-old practices like salmon fishing. Preserved by Detroit Publishing Company's commercial art and graphic design expertise, this lithograph transports us back in time. Now located at Lake County Museum, it stands as a testament to American period or style prevalent during those years. This postcard offers a glimpse into history—a snapshot frozen in time—capturing an important part of North American culture: Salmon Fishing on the Columbia River.
