EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of a lumber shipping scene in Washington, USA, during the early 1900s. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of simple beauty and industriousness. In the foreground, tall, majestic trees stand proud against the clear blue sky, their trunks stripped bare of bark and ready to be transformed into valuable lumber. Lumberjacks in heavy work clothes and boots can be seen in the background, their axes poised to fell the remaining trees. The raw timber is stacked neatly in piles, awaiting transportation to the nearby dock. At the water's edge, a sailing ship is moored, its sails furled and ropes coiled neatly on the deck. Smaller boats, perhaps used for transporting the lumber to the larger ship, are docked nearby. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility, with the calm waters reflecting the clear blue sky above. This image captures the essence of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a time when the United States was rapidly expanding and industries such as lumber production were at the forefront of economic growth. The lantern slide, an early form of visual media, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of a time long gone.
