[edit] Summary

Description

One of three photos collectively captioned "Bringing Cedar River water to Seattle. / This shows work in hand by Pacific Bridge Company." The photo is individually captioned "Source of the water supply", so it is apparently a picture of the Cedar River.

Source

p. 114 of Seattle and the Orient (more properly, Seattle …and the… Orient), a 1900 "souvenir" pamphlet edited and compiled by Alfred D. Bowen and published by The Times Printing Company (that is, the Seattle Times).

Scanned at 300 dpi; images cleaned up using Picture Publisher's "remove pattern" feature.

Date

1900

Author

Book edited and compiled by Alfred D. Bowen. The photos are uncredited, although one related photo on the next page has "Wilse" lettered on it (at lower left). That would be Anders Beer Wilse, so he is probably the photographer of these as well.
