EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era - the late 1890s in rural Virginia. The image showcases a ferry driver, skillfully navigating his boat across the river with utmost precision. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and dedication as he stands proudly at the helm, guiding passengers to their destinations. The photographer, Frances Benjamin Johnston, expertly captures this slice of daily life in America during the turn of the century. The composition highlights not only the ferry driver but also his surroundings – an idyllic countryside backdrop that speaks volumes about both time and place. The ferry driver's attire reflects his role as a working-class man in early American society. With a boater hat perched on his head and holding onto a rope attached to a pole, he exudes confidence and expertise in his trade. This image serves as a testament to the importance of transportation in connecting communities during this period. Frances Benjamin Johnston's photographic prowess shines through her ability to capture raw emotion within her subjects. In this particular print, she beautifully encapsulates both pride and resilience within one frame. As we gaze upon this photograph from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time to witness an integral part of Virginia's history - where hardworking men like this ferry driver played vital roles in shaping their communities' growth and development.
