EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "No. 4: Salmon fishing on the Klondike River" takes us back to the year 1895 in Dawson City, Alaska. The image was skillfully captured by American photographer E. A. Sather, who had roots in both Dawson City and Tacoma, Washington. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to a time when salmon fishing played a vital role in the lives of those living along the Klondike River. The scene is filled with action as fishermen diligently cast their lines into the rushing waters, hoping for a bountiful catch. The photo's monochromatic palette adds an air of nostalgia and highlights the raw beauty of nature surrounding these determined anglers. Their bodies are positioned with purpose and strength as they navigate through the river's currents. As we delve deeper into this remarkable piece of art, we discover that it is part of William Douglas Johns' collection at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois. This particular print comes from Series 2: Photographs and Miscellaneous dating between 1895-1941. Through this photograph's lens, we gain insight into not only early 19th-century life but also witness humanity's connection to nature and its resources. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resilience and reliance on natural abundance for sustenance. With each glance at this evocative image captured over a century ago by E. A. Sather, we are transported back to an era where survival depended on man's ability to harness nature's gifts while respecting its power.
