Description: A one-of a kind antique photo from the photo collection of Pacific Northwest photographer Oscar Loomis. His 1927-1937 collection spans a number of fascinating voyages on ships and on foot. Mr Loomis would go on to join the Merchant Marines in WWII. This personal photo is likely the only original in existence. Type & Size: A 4x2.5" original photograph.Condition: Original to the era and in good to fair antique condition; may have missing portions, age wear, smudging, corners may have slight damage or some light creasing. Reverse side may have remnants (that do not affect the image) from being in a photo album or collection. Please see photos. This photo depicts a forested scene with a covered bridge as the focal point, leading into a dense wooded area. Behind the bridge, there is a rustic wooden house surrounded by tall coniferous trees. The ground appears unpaved and slightly muddy, suggesting a remote location in the Pacific Northwest. Judging by the caption on the back, this image was taken in the year 1928, marking the entry into "Cascadia," a historic name associated with regions in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.Cascadia, often characterized by its lush and dense forests, has a rich history of logging and timber industry, which is reflected in this photo by the logs on the ground near the bridge. Covered bridges were not only functional but also iconic structures in many such timber-rich regions, protecting the wooden bridges from the elements and extending their lifespan. The rustic house hints at the rural, pioneer lifestyle that was common in the area during the early 20th century.The visible text on the back of the photograph reads `Entering Cascadia 1928`. There is no additional text, logos, or mention of specific individuals visible in the photograph, and no known famous people are identifiable from the image or caption.
