EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Oswego Iron Works, situated on the picturesque Willamette River. Taken by renowned American photographer Carleton Watkins in 1867, this albumen silver print captures the industrial beauty of a bygone era. The image measures an impressive 40.2 x 52.7 cm (15 13/16 x 20 3/4 in. ), while its mount expands to a larger size of 54.9 x 68.6 cm (21 5/8 x 27 in. ). Watkins skillfully frames the iron works against the backdrop of the serene Willamette River, creating a striking contrast between nature and industry. The composition highlights both the power and elegance of human innovation within Oregon's natural landscape. With meticulous attention to detail, Watkins' photograph immortalizes this significant piece of American history for future generations to appreciate and admire. It serves as a testament to his mastery as well as an invaluable record of industrial development during that time period. The Oswego Iron Works print from Liszt Collection is not intended for commercial use but rather invites viewers into a world where craftsmanship meets nature's grandeur—a visual journey back in time when progress was measured by towering structures like these iron works along rivers that shaped communities across North America.
