EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print showcases the Oswego Starch Factory, a prominent industrial landmark in Oswego, New York during the late 19th century. Created around 1877 by an American artist, this fine example of folk art captures the essence of North American industry at that time. The image depicts a sprawling factory building with a towering smokestack emitting plumes of smoke into the sky. The artist's attention to detail is evident in their skillful use of watercolors to recreate the architectural elements and surrounding landscape. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot from history. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also serves as a reminder of the environmental impact caused by such factories during that era. The billowing smokestack symbolizes pollution and highlights how industrialization often came at a cost to nature. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on America's industrial past while appreciating the artistic talent behind it. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of an important period in Oswego's history.
