Wide panoramic views like this one, showing a town's factories sitting below rolling hills, were especially popular in the early 1900s, when photographers used large-format or specialty panoramic cameras to capture an entire community in a single sweep. The 1907 date places the scene in a period of rapid industrial growth, when mills, plants and rail lines were often the clearest signs of a town's prosperity. Panoramas like this were often sold as keepsakes or commissioned by local businesses and civic boosters, so they record not only the buildings but also how a community wanted to present itself. Looking closely, viewers can trace the relationship between the factories, the streets and the land around them.
