    Vintage 1920 Kentucky Town Life: Hickman River Scene

    $29.95

    The photograph titled Hickman captures a moment in time from around 1919 or 1920, showcasing life in this small community located in Kentucky. Hickman, situated along the Mississippi River, played a key role in regional trade and commerce due to its strategic location as a river port. The town has a rich history with various economic activities, including agriculture and transport, contributing to its development in the early 20th century.

    The image, created using a glass negative, reflects the early practices of photojournalism during this period. The Bain News Service, which produced this photograph, was well-known for documenting significant events and locations in the United States. Glass negatives like this one were often used to capture sharp images before the advent of modern photographic techniques. This photo serves as an important visual record, providing insights into the daily life and environment of the people in Hickman during the post-World War I era. The photo not only documents a specific time but also enriches our understanding of the socio-economic conditions and the lifestyle of small-town America in the early 20th century.
