Description: A one-of a kind antique photo from the photo collection of Pacific Northwest photographer Oscar Loomis. His 1927-1937 collection spans a number of fascinating voyages on ships and on foot. Mr Loomis would go on to join the Merchant Marines in WWII. This personal photo is likely the only original in existence. Type & Size: A 4x2.5" original photograph.Condition: Original to the era and in good to fair antique condition; may have missing portions, age wear, smudging, corners may have slight damage or some light creasing. Reverse side may have remnants (that do not affect the image) from being in a photo album or collection. Please see photos. The photograph displays a ferry named as it traverses the waters near Longview, WA. The backdrop reveals an industrial landscape with what appears to be a large water tower and other industrial structures, indicative of a bustling port area. This image captures a moment in daily transportation, hinting at life and industry on the Pacific Northwest waterways in 1927.Battle Ground Lake, noted on the back of the photograph, is a State Park located in Clark County, Washington. It is known for its small, volcanic crater lake resembling Crater Lake in Oregon. While the photograph itself does not capture the lake, its timing, July 1927, coincides with a period of increased industrial and transportation development in the Pacific Northwest, reflecting the economic growth of the region during this era.
