EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Man standing on boards on cart in sawmill and stacking the boards, Duluth vicinity, Minn. 1903," captures a moment in the timber industry of the United States during the early 20th century. Taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the image offers a glimpse into the daily workings of a sawmill in the Duluth area of Minnesota. The photograph features a lone man, dressed in work clothes and wearing a hat, standing on a cart filled with freshly sawn boards. With a determined expression on his face, he carefully stacks the boards, one by one, creating neat piles. The sawmill, with its large, wooden machinery and towering stacks of timber, can be seen in the background. The scene is one of industry and hard labor, with the man's focus on his task a testament to the importance of the timber industry during this period in American history. The photograph also highlights the role of individuals in the larger context of the country's economic development, as well as the physical demands of working in a sawmill. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prolific photographer known for her documentation of American buildings and landscapes, captured this image as part of her larger body of work. The photograph is now held in the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and value as a record of the past.
