EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Levee, Baton Rouge, La.' dates back to the early 1900s, between 1910 and 1920. The image, of unknown origin, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. The photograph depicts a serene scene along the Mississippi River, with a grand levee embankment stretching along the horizon. The levee, a crucial part of Baton Rouge's flood protection system, is adorned with lush greenery, providing a stark contrast to the industrial elements of the scene. In the foreground, several boats, including paddle steamers and stern wheelers, are docked along the riverbank. These boats, remnants of a bygone era, were once the primary mode of transportation along the Mississippi River. The paddle steamers, with their distinctive smokestacks and large paddles, were the workhorses of the river, transporting goods and people up and down the waterway. The photograph was taken using a dry plate glass negative, a photographic process popular during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The image, measuring 8 x 10 inches, was likely taken by a skilled photographer, such as Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, who were active in the Baton Rouge area during this time. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the heritage and history of Baton Rouge and the United States as a whole. It offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of transportation and the resilience of communities along the Mississippi River.
