EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Levee below the bridge, The' and dated between 1880 and 1899, showcases an intriguing scene along the Mississippi River in the United States. The location is believed to be in Winona, Minnesota, where the mighty river's currents meet the land, creating a natural wonder and a challenge for early American engineers. In the foreground, a levee, an earthen embankment built to protect the land from flooding, can be seen. The levee is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the people who lived along the river, as they sought to tame its unpredictable waters. The levee also served as a vital transportation infrastructure, allowing for the passage of boats and steamboats up and down the river. Behind the levee, a suspension bridge spans the Mississippi, connecting the two banks. The bridge, with its trusses and cables, is a marvel of engineering from the late 19th century. The boats in the river, some with smokestacks billowing out steam, add to the bustling activity of the scene. This photograph, a dry plate or glass negative, is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a window into the country's rich architectural and engineering heritage. The image, from the collection of the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the importance of preserving our history and the stories it tells.
