Old Point Comfort, Virginia - Wharf, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio. The image depicts a bustling wharf at Old Point Comfort, Virginia, in the early 1910s. The scene is filled with activity as men in various stages of work and leisure populate the area. In the foreground, several men are seen loading parcels of currant jelly into Swift & Company crates, perhaps preparing for shipment. The jars of jelly, a staple of the region's agricultural industry, are carefully arranged and secured for transport. Nearby, a man in a hat and coat stands casually, observing the scene or perhaps waiting for his turn to assist with the loading process. The wharf itself is lined with a row of buildings, some of which appear to be commercial structures, while others may be residential. Boats of various sizes are moored at the dock, adding to the sense of activity and industry. The jetty and coastline beyond the wharf stretch out into the distance, framing the scene and emphasizing the connection between land and water. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and work of this coastal community during the early 20th century. The diverse group of individuals depicted in the image, including both African American and Caucasian men, reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region and the country as a whole. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offering a unique and fascinating look at a bygone era.
