EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cotton Docks, Savannah, Ga. c1907," offers a glimpse into the rich history of America's cotton industry during the early 20th century. The image, created by an unknown photographer, showcases the bustling activity along the Savannah River waterfront in Savannah, Georgia. The photograph captures the grandeur of the cotton docks, with their towering warehouses and wharves lined up along the riverbank. The docks were a vital link in the transportation chain, connecting the agricultural heartland of the American South to the rest of the country and the world. The cotton bales, carefully stacked and secured in barrels, await the next leg of their journey. The scene is reminiscent of the Congressional Library's vast collection of historical photographs, which document the country's past and preserve its heritage. This particular photograph, taken with a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a testament to the skill and artistry of early 20th-century photography. The Savannah River, a major geographical feature of the region, is a focal point of the image, with its calm waters reflecting the industrial activity on the shore. The image also highlights the unique architectural design of the warehouses, which were built to accommodate the large volumes of cotton being transported. The photograph, taken around 1907, is a poignant reminder of the significant role that cotton played in shaping the economic and cultural landscape of the United States during this period. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, photography, or the country's agricultural heritage.
