EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Spokane Falls, Washington in the late 19th century. With its aged appearance, it offers a glimpse into the rich history of America's west. The image showcases the Monroe Street Dam, an engineering marvel completed in 1890, which remains as Washington state's longest-running hydroelectric facility. The photograph is sourced from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897. It captures the natural beauty of Spokane Falls with its powerful cataract cascading down the riverbed. In this monochrome vista, we see a sturdy bridge spanning across the river, connecting both sides of this picturesque location. The scene exudes tranquility and grandeur simultaneously; nature's raw power juxtaposed against man-made structures. As we admire this historic snapshot captured by an unknown creator, we are transported to a time when hydroelectricity was still a novel concept and technology was rapidly advancing. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to harness nature for progress. With every detail preserved through time on this print collector's piece from Heritage Images, it allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Spokane Falls but also how far we have come since then in terms of engineering feats and sustainable energy production methods.
