EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Unidentified young girl standing on wharf, with buildings along waterfront in the background, 1894 or 1895," was taken by Alfred Lee Broadbent during his documentary expedition to Alaska and its northern coast in the late 19th century. The image is part of a larger collection held at the Library of Congress, showcasing the unique culture and landscape of this remote region during a pivotal period in American history. The young girl in the photograph stands confidently on the wharf, her fur-trimmed coat and hat protecting her from the cold Alaskan air. Her simple, yet elegant dress and the fur-lined collar of her coat are typical of the clothing worn during this era. In the background, the buildings along the waterfront are a testament to the growing presence of human settlement in this rugged and untamed land. The image captures the meeting of frontiers, as the modern world begins to encroach upon the wild and untamed landscape of Alaska. The girl's unwavering gaze towards the camera adds an element of mystery and intrigue, inviting us to imagine her story and the experiences that led her to this moment. Broadbent's documentary photographs provide a valuable glimpse into the past, offering a window into the culture, people, and history of Alaska during a time of great change. This image, in particular, is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of those who braved the harsh conditions of this remote and beautiful land.
