EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1880 takes us back in time to the bustling boiler deck of the packet steamer J. M. White, as it sailed along the majestic Mississippi River. The steamboat, a symbol of American maritime history, transported passengers between Greenville, Mississippi, and New Orleans, Louisiana during this era. The image showcases an intriguing aspect of life on board - spittoon row. Rows of brass spittoons line the deck railing, serving as evidence of a common practice at that time. Men would gather around these spittoons to indulge in tobacco chewing and spitting while enjoying their journey on this iconic riverboat. The composition captures both the exterior and interior elements of the steamboat's deck. A man is seated comfortably on a chair near one end of the deck, observing his surroundings with curiosity or perhaps lost in contemplation. The intricate details within the photograph allow us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where steamboats were vital modes of transportation and travel was an adventure filled with charm and elegance. This remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand allows us to immerse ourselves in America's rich past while appreciating the beauty captured by skilled photographers over a century ago.
