EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the C & O Canal at 31st Street in Washington, D.C. during the early 1900s. The image, estimated to have been taken between 1910 and 1920, showcases the industrial charm of the era with a serene canal scene. Boats of various sizes are moored along the waterway, their masts and rigging casting long reflections in the calm waters. A towpath runs alongside the canal, suggesting the ongoing transportation of goods via this historic waterway. The scene is framed by the backdrop of industrial structures, including factories and warehouses, with their distinctive chimneys billowing smoke. The image offers a glimpse into the bustling activity of the time, with the C & O Canal serving as a vital artery for trade and transportation in the United States. The photograph, which is a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, was likely taken by an unknown photographer. It is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich heritage of American history. The image is a poignant reminder of the country's industrial past and the role that waterways played in shaping the landscape of Washington, D.C. and the United States as a whole.
