EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Cable Ferry near La Colle, Penn, circa 1897. The image showcases men patiently waiting to cross the Conemaugh River near Lacolle Mine in Bolivar, Pennsylvania. This region holds great historical importance as it was settled by the first pioneers back in 1829. The photograph is extracted from "A Tour Through the New World America", a literary masterpiece authored by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell and published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London around the same time period. It offers a glimpse into the mid-Atlantic landscape of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania during the late 19th century. The cable ferry itself serves as a symbol of connection and transportation during that era, suspended overhead on cables that spanned across the riverbank jetty. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this historic scene. As we observe this group of men positioned alongside their mode of transport, we are transported back in time to an age when exploration and discovery were at their peak. This print not only captures a beautiful scenic view but also provides us with valuable insight into our country's past. Courtesy: Heritage Images
