EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Block House of Old Fort Duquesne, built in 1764. The image, taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, showcases this significant piece of Pittsburgh's history. The Block House stands tall as a symbol of the city's past and serves as a reminder of its rich heritage. The photograph is part of a private collection and was featured in the Souvenir of Pittsburgh publication around 1895. Its inclusion in this book highlights the importance placed on preserving and commemorating Pittsburgh's historical landmarks. With its striking monochrome composition, this image transports viewers back to the late 18th century when Fort Duquesne played a crucial role during conflicts between European powers vying for control over North America. As one gazes at this picture, they can almost imagine themselves standing before this sturdy structure that witnessed countless events unfold throughout history. Pittsburgh residents take pride in their city's deep-rooted connection to American history, making images like these cherished treasures. This particular photograph not only celebrates Pittsburgh but also represents a broader narrative about the United States' journey towards becoming what it is today. As we admire this snapshot from yesteryears, let us remember how vital it is to preserve our historical sites so that future generations can appreciate their significance and learn from them.
