EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Front Street Davenport Iowa High Water" captures a moment frozen in time. Taken by the talented American photographer Henry P. Bosse in 1888, this cyanotype showcases the resilience of the people and their city during a period of high water in Davenport, Iowa. The image transports us to Front Street, where buildings stand tall amidst the rising floodwaters. The composition is filled with dramatic contrasts - from the dark depths of the water to the bright reflections shimmering on its surface. It's as if nature itself has become an artist, painting a mesmerizing scene that both captivates and unsettles. Bosse's keen eye for detail is evident in every inch of this 26.5 x 33.3 cm print (10 7/16 x 13 1/8 inches). Each building tells a story; each ripple on the water holds secrets untold. As we gaze at this historical artifact, we can't help but marvel at how far technology has come since then. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of Davenport's past but also reminds us of our own vulnerability in the face of natural forces beyond our control. It stands as a testament to human resilience and adaptability, showcasing how communities like Davenport have always found ways to overcome adversity. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let it serve as a reminder that history is not just confined within textbooks or museums – it lives through photographs like
