EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Levee, St. Louis, Missouri" takes us back in time to the bustling docks of the Midwest in the late 19th century. Captured by G. P. Hall & Son in 1876-1914, this historical image is now part of the esteemed collection at the New-York Historical Society. The scene depicts a vibrant quayside filled with activity and movement. A horse-drawn cart loaded with cargo stands ready for transportation while dockers diligently load goods onto barges nearby. The Mississippi River flows peacefully alongside, reflecting the charm of this riverside city. Intriguing details emerge as we explore further - a majestic bridge connecting both sides of St. Louis looms overhead, symbolizing progress and connectivity during that era. Tugboats gracefully navigate through the waterways, adding to the lively atmosphere. Amidst all this commotion, horses stand patiently beside their handlers - farm animals amidst an urban landscape - reminding us of a simpler time when nature played an integral role even in industrial settings. Through its impeccable composition and timeless quality, this photograph transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history when river transport was vital for trade and commerce. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to adapt to changing times while preserving our connection with nature. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as a reminder that every photograph holds within it not
