Fishing from Pier on Lake Michigan, 1906
|
Although fishing might seem a way to escape the urban environment, it often was part of it. Seen here in this 1906 photograph is a pier built out into Lake Michigan with wood timbers and broken rock. Despite this not-so-pastoral setting, several adults and one young man appear to be fishing intently.
