Darius Kinsey
American, 1869–1945
c. 1910
A gelatin silver photograph by Darius Kinsey that records a crew of loggers beside towering felled trees and a steam engine, intended to dramatize the scale, danger, and technical force of early 20th‑century logging.
You're first struck by scale—the men are almost dwarfed by the massive trunks and the puffing steam engine, while their workworn clothes, relaxed poses, and the misty forest background give the image a mix of grit, calm, and collective pride.
As part of the industrial documentary tradition, this image helped shape public perceptions of frontier resource extraction and labor by making visible the human and mechanical power that built modern industry.
