EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MAINE: LUMBERING, 1882" takes us back in time to witness the arduous work of lumberjacks in the late 19th century. The image captures a dramatic scene at the Falls of the Diamond, where a log jam has formed on the powerful river currents. In this perilous situation, a group of brave men can be seen attempting to cut through the mass of logs by focusing their efforts on what is known as the "Key Log". The wood engraving showcases the sheer danger and physicality involved in Maine's logging industry during this era. With axes and chains in hand, these rugged workers risk life and limb as they battle against nature's forces to free up transportation routes for timber downstream. The strength required to maneuver such massive logs amidst treacherous rocks and rushing water is awe-inspiring. This historical snapshot not only provides insight into an important industry that shaped Maine's economy but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination. It reminds us of our ancestors' unwavering commitment to hard labor despite facing immense challenges. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time, gaining appreciation for those who paved the way for modern-day advancements while recognizing that progress often comes at great sacrifice.
