EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1930, depicts Broadway Street in the historic Alaskan town of Skagway, USA. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century frontier era, with its muddy, uneven thoroughfare and the meeting of various shopfronts and telegraph poles. The scene is set against the backdrop of the dark, brooding Alaskan wilderness, where the harsh elements of nature are ever-present. Looking north, we see a man in a hat and coat, deep in conversation with another figure, their shadows cast long on the wet pavement. The shops along the street offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the community, with a telegraph office, a general store, and various other businesses. The telegraph poles, a symbol of communication and connection to the outside world, stand tall against the weathered buildings. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who settled in this remote and challenging environment. It offers a glimpse into the heritage and history of Skagway, Alaska, and the United States, and serves as a reminder of the rich and diverse stories that lie within the pages of our collective past.
