EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment on the Rhone near Bourg Saint Andreal in the early 20th century. Taken by an anonymous French photographer, this image showcases the hardworking boatmen navigating their way through the river. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable, with the boatmen skillfully maneuvering their towboat along the calm waters. The presence of a steamboat adds to the historical charm of this scene, reminding us of a time when technology was just beginning to shape transportation on rivers. The boatmen themselves are depicted as dedicated workers, tirelessly pulling and towing barges along the river. Their strength and determination are evident in their postures as they go about their daily tasks. This image not only provides a glimpse into early 20th-century life but also highlights an essential aspect of river transport during that era. It serves as a reminder of how crucial these skilled workers were in ensuring goods could be transported efficiently across long distances. Now part of a private collection, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic qualities and its historical significance. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but feel connected to those boatmen who played such vital roles in shaping our past.
