EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 20th century in Cincinnati, Ohio. The image showcases the magnificent Reservoir at Eden Park, an engineering marvel of its time. Built between 1866 and 1878, this colossal reservoir had a staggering capacity of 436 million liters. The pumping station seen in the photograph was responsible for drawing water from the mighty Ohio River and filling up this massive reservoir. This feat of hydraulic engineering ensured a steady supply of water to meet the growing needs of Cincinnati's residents. The serene landscape surrounding the reservoir adds to its charm. Nestled within Eden Park's picturesque setting, it becomes evident why this location was chosen for such an important infrastructure project. Professor George R. Cromwell recognized its beauty and included it in his compilation titled "Scenic Marvels of the New World". Although we may not know who exactly captured this momentous scene on camera, their skillful monochrome depiction allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and natural splendor that coexist in this part of America. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images' collection, we are transported back in time—a reminder that progress is built upon ingenuity while embracing nature's gifts.
