EDITORS COMMENTS
Rolling mills and bridges on the Antietam Creek, 1872. This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the industrial might and natural beauty intertwined along the Antietam Creek in Maryland, USA. Taken by Granville Perkins, a renowned American artist and illustrator, this image is part of his contribution to 'Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, ' a remarkable book edited by William Cullen Bryant. The focal point of this photograph is Burnsides Bridge near Sharpsburg, which played a pivotal role in the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War in September 1862. The bridge stands as both a testament to history and an architectural marvel against the backdrop of rolling mills that symbolize America's burgeoning iron and steel industry. Perkins' keen eye for detail brings forth an enchanting landscape where man-made structures harmoniously coexist with nature's wonders. The Old Bridge and Mill add charm to this picturesque scene while evoking nostalgia for simpler times. This image not only showcases Perkins' artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document capturing an important chapter in American history. It reminds us of our country's rich heritage and how progress has shaped our landscapes over time. As we admire this print today, let it transport us back to 1872 when these rolling mills hummed with activity alongside serene waters flowing through Antietam Creek – forever frozen in time thanks to Granville Perkins' masterful lens.
