Area Illinois Illinois United States Pedestrian Bridge Picnic Picnicking Dry Plate Negative Glass 8 X 10 In Pastime

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s and join the crowds at Picnic grounds at Lemont, Ill., a popular leisure destination between 1900 and 1905. This photograph, captured on a dry plate glass negative, offers a glimpse into the past as people enjoy a sunny day outdoors. The picturesque scene is set along the banks of a serene body of water, with a quaint pedestrian bridge arching gracefully over it. The bridge, a charming structural feature, connects the picnic grounds on both sides, inviting visitors to explore and mingle. The lush greenery and vibrant colors of nature surround the area, providing a picturesque backdrop for families and friends to gather and unwind. The simple pleasures of the pastime are on full display, as people sit at blankets spread out on the grass, sharing meals, laughter, and conversation. This image, preserved in the Library of Congress, offers a window into a simpler era, a time when the beauty of nature and the company of loved ones were the main attractions. The Congressional Library's vast collection of heritage art, like this one, serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the history and culture of the United States during the 20th century.
