EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "No. 16: Wm. Douglas Johns, Front St. , Dawson, Summer, 1898-1906" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Dawson during the late 19th to early 20th century. The image captures a moment frozen in history by an unknown photographer. The photograph showcases Front Street, one of the main thoroughfares of Dawson City during its heyday as the center of the Klondike Gold Rush. Despite being devoid of people, it exudes a sense of energy and anticipation that must have filled the air during those exciting times. The absence of individuals allows us to focus on the architectural details and commercial establishments lining both sides of the street. We can see various businesses such as general stores, saloons, and hotels with their signs proudly displayed. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to this scene from over a century ago. It invites us to imagine what life was like for those who called Dawson home or ventured there in search of fortune. This remarkable print is part of William Douglas Johns' collection housed at Newberry Library in Chicago. Its inclusion within his papers offers insight into his experiences during this era. As we gaze upon this piece captured by an anonymous lensman from another era, we are reminded once again that photographs possess an extraordinary power to transport us through time and connect us with our shared human history.
