EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cottages at Maplewood," dates back to the late 19th century, between 1880 and 1899. The image, which measures 8 x 10 inches, depicts a picturesque scene of quaint cottages nestled among the lush, green grounds of Maplewood, likely located in Waseca, Waseca County, Minnesota, United States of America. The cottages, which appear to be a combination of hostel and tourist resort, exude a charming and inviting atmosphere. The exterior of each dwelling is adorned with intricate details, such as gabled roofs, ornate chimneys, and decorative trim. The cottages are surrounded by lush foliage, including trees with vibrant autumn colors, adding to the idyllic setting. The photograph also captures the fashion of the era, with both men and women dressed in turn-of-the-century attire. The women wear long, flowing dresses with high collars and puffed sleeves, while the men don suits and hats. One man is even seen pushing a wheelchair, suggesting that the resort may have catered to individuals with disabilities, making it a pioneering tourist attraction for its time. The photograph was likely taken using a dry plate negative or glass negative process, common during this period. Today, it serves as an important piece of American heritage art and a reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history of tourism and recuperation in the United States.
