EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of a bay in Lac la Belle, Oconomowoc, dating back to 1897. The unknown creator skillfully portrays the peacefulness of this natural landscape, transporting us to a time when white settlers were just beginning to explore this area. As we delve into the history behind this image, we learn that Amable Vicau was the first white person to establish a trading post here in 1827. This discovery attracted more settlers who ventured into Waukesha County, Wisconsin. Prof. Geo. R. Cromwell's book "A Tour Through the New World America" sheds light on these early explorations. The photograph showcases wooden boats gently resting on the calm waters of Lac la Belle against a backdrop of lush trees and undergrowth. The monochrome effect adds depth and nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing its timeless appeal. This image invites us to appreciate nature's tranquility as it existed over a century ago in this picturesque corner of America. It serves as a reminder of our connection with both history and geography – an invitation for reflection upon how landscapes change over time while retaining their inherent beauty. With its rich historical context and mesmerizing composition, this print from Heritage Images offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the enchanting vistas that once captivated early American settlers exploring new frontiers.
