EDITORS COMMENTS
This photochrom print, dated circa 1901, showcases the majestic St. Lawrence River and the steam-powered vessel, Str. Toronto, docked at its shores. The image, which is believed to have been taken from the New York State or Ontario side of the river, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of the early 20th century in North America. The Steamer Toronto, operated by the Detroit Publishing Company, was likely a common sight on the St. Lawrence River, contributing to the region's bustling water transportation network. The company, established by Detroit Publishing Co. founder, Edwin H. Husher, was renowned for its high-quality, colorized photomechanical prints, making this image a valuable addition to any historical collection. The St. Lawrence River, a significant geographical feature that stretches from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, has played a pivotal role in the development of the United States and Canada. This print, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the beauty and grandeur of the river and the steamships that once plied its waters. The image, housed in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the St. Lawrence River and the vessels that sailed its waters. This vintage view, with its timeless appeal, continues to inspire awe and fascination, reminding us of the incredible journey that the river and its steamships have taken us on throughout history.
