EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Levee, Louisville, Ky. c.between 1900 and 1910," showcases a bustling scene along the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, United States of America. The image, captured during the early 20th century, depicts a series of boats and steamers docked at the levee, an embankment used for the loading and unloading of cargo and passengers. The intricate details of the boats' designs and the intriguing contrast between the water and the sky are beautifully preserved in this glass negative, measuring 8 x 10 inches. The photograph, from the collection of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the rich history of water transportation in the United States during this era. The boats, with their tall smokestacks and ornate designs, evoke a sense of industry and progress. The image also highlights the importance of the Ohio River as a major transportation hub, connecting the Midwest to the East Coast. The photograph is attributed to an unknown photographer, but it is believed that it may have been taken by Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were active in the field of photography during this time. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, and its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today.
