EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Alexandria, Minnesota, USA around 1908, showcases the excitement and pride surrounding a remarkable catch. The giant Great Northern Pike, measuring an impressive length, is displayed on a horse-drawn cart outside the shop of Baumbach & Holverson. The men responsible for the catch stand proudly beside the cart, their faces reflecting a sense of accomplishment and awe. The quaint street scene transports us back to the early 1900s, with the horse and cart providing a stark contrast to the modern fishing equipment used to reel in this massive fish from Lake Le Homme Dieu. The horse, strong and steady, seems unfazed by the unusual cargo, adding to the surreal atmosphere of the moment. This photograph is a testament to the rich fishing heritage of Alexandria, Minnesota, and the sense of community that comes with it. The large crowd gathered around the cart suggests that news of the catch had spread quickly, drawing curious onlookers from all corners of the town. The image is a beautiful reminder of a simpler time, when a great catch was cause for celebration and the joy of the moment was shared with the entire community. The horse-drawn cart, the men in their work clothes, and the giant Great Northern Pike all come together to create a scene that is at once nostalgic and inspiring.
