EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Pine Forest on West Branch of the Susquehanna, 1874" takes us back to a bygone era in Pennsylvania, USA. The image showcases the bustling logging industry along the banks of the West Branch Susquehanna River during the late 19th century. The photograph is part of a larger collection called "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and published by D. Appleton and Company in New York in 1874. This volume aimed to depict the natural beauty of America through illustrations created by renowned American artists. In this particular scene captured by an unknown creator, we are transported into a dense pine forest teeming with activity. Lumberjacks can be seen skillfully maneuvering logs as they prepare them for transportation downstream. The towering pine trees provide a majestic backdrop against which this industrious scene unfolds. The print not only offers us a glimpse into the logging practices prevalent at that time but also highlights the harmonious coexistence between man and nature during this period of rapid industrialization. It serves as a reminder of our historical connection to these vast woodlands that have shaped both our landscapes and our nation's growth. As we admire this wood engraving from over a century ago, it sparks curiosity about how much has changed since then while inspiring appreciation for the enduring beauty found within America's forests.
