EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wharf opposite Richmond ca 1865" takes us back in time to the bustling waterfront of Richmond, California during the mid-19th century. The albumen silver print, captured by John Reekie, an American photographer active in the 1860s, showcases his keen eye for detail and composition. The image portrays a vibrant scene with a wharf stretching out into the water. The wooden planks of the wharf are weathered and worn from years of use, hinting at its significance as a hub of activity. Boats of various sizes line up alongside it, their masts reaching towards the sky like proud sentinels guarding this maritime domain. Alexander Gardner's influence is evident in this photograph as well. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1821 and later settling down in Washington D. C. , Gardner was known for his technical expertise and artistic vision. His collaboration with Reekie has resulted in a stunning visual representation that captures both historical context and aesthetic appeal. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection's archives, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that era - witnessing sailors unloading cargo or perhaps families embarking on exciting voyages across unknown horizons. This photograph serves as a window into our past; it reminds us of how these waterfronts were once vital lifelines connecting communities and fostering economic growth.
