EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'View from Fishkill looking to West Point,' transports us back in time to the picturesque landscape of Fishkill, New York, in the year 1825. The photograph was taken from a rocky outcropping above Fishkill, offering a breathtaking view of the Hudson River stretching out before us. The serene scene is dominated by the majestic West Point Military Academy, perched atop a hill on the opposite shore. The tranquility of the moment is contrasted by the sight of a sidewheel steamship making its way south on the river. This innovative mode of transportation, a testament to the technological advancements of the era, adds a sense of excitement and progress to the otherwise idyllic setting. At the water's edge, a cowherd tends to his three cows, their peaceful grazing a reminder of the agrarian way of life that was still prevalent during this period. The cows' reflections in the calm waters of the Hudson River add an extra layer of depth and intrigue to the image. The natural beauty of the Hudson River Valley is on full display in this photograph, with the vibrant green foliage, clear blue skies, and the gentle curve of the river all contributing to a scene that is both timeless and captivating. This evocative image invites us to imagine the stories of the people and the history that unfolded along the banks of the Hudson River over two centuries ago.
