EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Missouri River flowing below Great Falls, Montana in 1897. The creator of this stunning image remains unknown, but its historical significance is undeniable. Named by Second Lieutenant William Clark during the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805, the Missouri River once showcased its raw power before most of its water was diverted to a hydroelectric plant at Ryan Dam. The aerial view presented in this photograph allows us to appreciate the dramatic landscape of America's western frontier during the 19th century. The blurred motion of the river creates a sense of movement and highlights nature's force at play. It is as if we are witnessing a cataract or waterfall with immense power. This image comes from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor George R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897. Its inclusion in literature reflects both an artistic appreciation for scenic landscapes and a documentation of geographical features that shaped our country's history. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when exploration and discovery were paramount. It serves as a reminder of how nature can captivate our senses while also providing vital resources such as hydroelectric power. Let this photograph be an invitation to immerse ourselves in the beauty and grandeur that lies within our own backyard - reminding us that even amidst progress, there is still much wonder left to explore along rivers like the Missouri.
