"On the Ferry Boat" is a photo by Alfred Stieglitz, an American photographer known for his contributions to Pictorialism. Taken sometime between 1902 and 1932, the image captures a crowd on a ferry boat. Their backs are turned to the viewer, creating an intriguing sense of mystery. In the background, the city skyline is obscured by fog and smoke, a common theme in Stieglitz's work. The composition and use of light highlight the everyday beauty of urban life.
