Milwaukee River, at Milwaukee, 1874. Creator: Alfred Waud
Milwaukee River, at Milwaukee, 1874. Busy scene on the quayside of the largest city in the state of Wisconsin, USA. The river, indeed, is an attractive resort, and a pair of four-oared shells are often to be seen pulling briskly among the fleet of steamers and sailing-vessels ever moving in the stream. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Milwaukee River, at Milwaukee, 1874" captures a bustling scene on the quayside of Wisconsin's largest city. Taken by Alfred Waud, an eminent American artist of the 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into the vibrant industrial and trading hub that Milwaukee was during that era. The photograph showcases the picturesque Milwaukee River as an attractive resort for both leisure and commerce. Amidst a fleet of steamers and sailing vessels gracefully navigating the river's currents, two four-oared shells can be seen gliding briskly through the water. This dynamic juxtaposition between traditional modes of transportation highlights how progress was shaping America's landscape. Waud's composition skillfully portrays the energy and activity present in this thriving port city. The dockside is teeming with people engaged in various tasks related to trade and transport. Market stalls are set up along the quay, offering goods to eager customers while workers load barrels onto boats destined for distant shores. This evocative snapshot is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant – a comprehensive depiction of America's natural beauty illustrated by esteemed artists like Waud. Through his masterful use of pen and pencil engraving techniques, Waud immortalizes this moment in time when Milwaukee stood at the forefront of industrial growth in Wisconsin. As we gaze upon this historical gem today, it serves as a reminder not only of our nation's rich past but also its enduring spirit of innovation and enterprise.
