EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the late 19th century showcases a picturesque view of the levee at St. Louis, Missouri. The bustling cityscape in the background provides a glimpse into American life during this era, with its charming architecture and lively streets. In the foreground, we see an array of maritime activity that characterizes this vibrant riverfront location. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the steamboat and riverboat docked at the levee. These majestic vessels were vital for transportation along the mighty Mississippi River, connecting St. Louis to other cities and towns along its course. The steam rising from their chimneys adds an element of dynamism to this scene. The harbor area surrounding these boats bustles with activity as workers load and unload cargo onto horse-drawn carriages waiting nearby. This depiction highlights how crucial St. Louis was as a hub for trade and commerce in America's heartland during this time period. As we take in this historic print by The Granger Collection, it transports us back to a time when rivers served as lifelines for communities across America's vast landscape. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those who relied on these waterways for their livelihoods.
