EDITORS COMMENTS
Sunset off Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Md., c1906: This stunning photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of a sunset over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The image, taken around the turn of the 20th century, showcases the majestic fortification standing proudly on the shore of the harbor, silhouetted against the fiery orange and red hues of the setting sun. The tranquil waters of the harbor reflect the colors of the sky, adding to the serene and peaceful atmosphere. Fort McHenry, a historic star-shaped fort and national monument, played a significant role in the defense of Baltimore during the War of 1812. The fort's most famous claim to fame is that it inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," the national anthem of the United States, after he saw the American flag still flying over the fort at dawn following a British bombardment. The photograph, taken as a dry plate or glass negative, provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural beauty of the location and the historic significance of Fort McHenry. The boats and other watercraft in the harbor add to the scene, highlighting the transportation and transport infrastructure of the time. This image is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Baltimore and the United States, and serves as a reminder of the natural wonders and historic sites that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
