EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph takes us back to the bustling days of the 1880s in Puget Sound, Washington State. The image showcases a vital aspect of American business and trade during that era - loading lumber onto ships. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration, we are transported to a time when the city's dock was abuzz with activity. The scene depicts a vibrant port where workers laboriously load logs onto boats destined for various destinations along the Pacific coast. This snapshot of history highlights the significance of timber industry not only in Washington but also across North America. It is fascinating to witness how commerce thrived as these hardworking individuals meticulously handled each piece of wood. Intriguingly, this print offers glimpses into international connections as well. With Canada's Vancouver and British Columbia mentioned alongside Seattle and United States, it becomes evident that this region served as a crucial hub for transnational trade. The artistry behind this lithograph adds an extra layer of charm to its historical value. The delicate hand-coloring technique enhances our appreciation for the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate illustrations during the 19th century. As we admire this remarkable piece from North Wind Picture Archives, let us reflect on how transportation and labor shaped Puget Sound's identity while honoring those who played their part in building America's industrial legacy.
