EDITORS COMMENTS
Minnehaha Falls, located in Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, is a 53-foot waterfall that has captivated visitors for over a century. This stunning photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the falls and the surrounding foliage. The vibrant autumn colors of the trees in the foreground add an extra layer of enchantment to the scene. The Box 5 Boswell collection, from which this image is sourced, documents an American trip taken in the early 1900s. The photograph was likely captured using a lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Minnehaha Falls is named after the legendary Sioux princess Minnehaha, whose story is intertwined with that of the waterfall in local folklore. The falls are situated at the end of Minnehaha Creek, which flows into the Mississippi River. The area around the falls is a popular tourist destination and offers visitors a variety of recreational activities, including hiking, picnicking, and fishing. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Minnehaha Falls and the natural beauty of Minnesota. It invites us to imagine the excitement and wonder felt by early 20th-century travelers as they discovered this natural wonderland. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
