EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white glass negative photograph, taken on December 29, 1901, captures the scene of pine logs being rafted down a stream in the United States. The image, created by an unknown photographer, is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress. The location of this photograph is not definitively known, but it is believed to be associated with the Keystone Lumber Company, based in Detroit, Michigan. The image showcases the industrial process of the lumber industry during the early 20th century. Workers can be seen standing on the banks of the stream, expertly guiding the logs as they float by. The logs, likely freshly cut from pine trees, are tightly bound together on the rafts, creating a formidable sight as they navigate the water. The natural beauty of the pine trees and the stream are also on full display in this photograph. The trees, with their long needles and conical shape, contrast sharply with the rough, textured logs and the workers in their heavy clothing. The clear, crisp water of the stream adds to the overall serene and picturesque scene. The use of a dry plate negative process, which involved coating a glass plate with a light-sensitive emulsion, resulted in this high-quality, detailed image. The photograph is a testament to the rich industrial and natural heritage of the United States during the early 1900s. This vintage image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate viewers and offer a glimpse into the past.
