EDITORS COMMENTS
Sunset across the Harbor, Buffalo, N.Y. c.between 1910 and 1920" is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned American photographer, William H. Jackson. The image portrays a stunning sunset over Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York, with a group of cargo ships anchored in the harbor in the background. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past of this historic waterfront scene. The atmospheric scene is filled with a sense of tranquility and wonder. The sun, setting on the horizon, casts a warm, golden glow over the water, creating a breathtaking display of light and color. The sky is filled with a myriad of hues, from deep oranges and reds to subtle pinks and purples. The air is still and calm, as if holding its breath in awe of the natural beauty unfolding before us. In the foreground, we see a group of boys, dressed in clothes typical of the era, playing and enjoying the last rays of sunlight. They seem oblivious to the world around them, lost in their own little world of fun and adventure. The image captures a moment of simple joy and innocence, a reminder of the universal appeal of a beautiful sunset. The cargo ships in the background add an industrial touch to the scene, reminding us of the economic activity that once thrived in this bustling harbor. The ships, with their tall masts and billowing sails, are silhouetted against the setting sun, creating a striking contrast between the natural and man-made elements of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American photography and the beauty of the natural world. Taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, the image is a masterclass in composition, lighting, and atmosphere. It is a treasure in the collection of the Library of Congress and a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the simplest of moments.
