EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Cable Ferry, near La Colle, Pennsylvania in the 19th century. Taken by an American photographer whose identity remains unknown, this print is now part of a private collection. The image was originally featured as an illustration for "A Tour through the New World, America" edited by George R Cromwell and published in London around 1897. The cable ferry itself stands out as the focal point of this historic scene. Its sturdy construction and intricate mechanism are showcased against a backdrop of lush greenery and flowing water. This photo transports us back to a time when such ferries were essential means of transportation across bodies of water. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can't help but imagine what life was like during that era in Pennsylvania. The Cable Ferry served as a vital link between communities on either side of the river, connecting people and facilitating trade.
