1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Alexandria Bay, Thousand Islands, USA, 1901" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the enchanting beauty of Alexandria Bay, located in the Thousand Islands region straddling the United States-Canadian border on Lake Ontario. The image, taken in the year 1901, presents a historical snapshot of this picturesque waterfront town in upstate New York, USA. The Thousand Islands, a group of over 1,800 islands, are nestled in the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. The islands, with their unique geographical features and rich history, have long been a popular tourist destination. In the early 1900s, Alexandria Bay served as a gateway to the Thousand Islands for many visitors, who arrived by steamships and private yachts. This photograph showcases the bustling waterfront scene of Alexandria Bay, with its quaint wooden docks, sailboats, and steamships anchored in the calm waters of Lake Ontario. The town's charming architecture, featuring Victorian-era homes and businesses, adds to the idyllic atmosphere. The photograph also reveals the natural beauty of the area, with lush greenery, clear waters, and the distant silhouette of the Canadian shoreline. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the gentle lapping of the water against the shore and the distant hum of activity on the bay. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the natural beauty of the Thousand Islands was a source of inspiration and relaxation for generations of visitors.
