Clouds take center stage in this glass negative, with the Hudson River serving as a quiet base rather than the main attraction. The plate is marked WHJ, which likely refers to William Henry Jackson, the photographer whose work helped build the Detroit Publishing Company's catalog of American scenery. Dated between 1895 and 1910, it reflects a period when the company sold views of rivers, towns and landscapes to Americans curious about the country they lived in.
