American waterways
In the late 1800’s, American waterways provided a vast network of entrepreneurial opportunities, linking communities both large and small in a way that roads and railroads could not yet accommodate. A variety of floating businesses thrived in this way, traveling between locations when work was slow or conditions warranted. Among them, were photography studios. Utilizing on-board skylights, some photographers advertised their portrait services, while others operated as galleries, selling river and town views captured in their travels.
