EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Ferry near Fort Laramie, Dakota, 1868" takes us back in time to the vast landscapes of North America during the late 19th century. The image showcases a significant moment in history as it captures a ferry crossing on a river near Fort Laramie. The photographer, Alexander Gardner, skillfully utilizes the albumen print technique to bring this scene to life with remarkable clarity and detail. The composition draws our attention to the Native American Indians who are seen navigating their way across the river. Their presence adds an element of cultural significance and highlights their deep connection with these lands. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can't help but feel transported into an era long gone by. The serene beauty of nature surrounding the ferry creates a sense of tranquility amidst what was undoubtedly a tumultuous period for both settlers and indigenous tribes alike. This photograph serves as a reminder of how photography has allowed us to preserve moments from history that might have otherwise been lost forever. It is through images like these that we gain insight into past civilizations and appreciate the rich tapestry of cultures that have shaped North America. Displayed at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this albumen print stands as a testament to Alexander Gardner's artistic vision and his contribution to documenting American history through photography.
