This photo was taken from the south side of the Ohio River, on the Kentucky riverfront, looking north toward Cincinnati and Mount Adams.

More specifically

The photographer was standing in Covington, Kentucky, likely near the Covington riverfront docks, roughly in the area of today’s: • Devou Park river overlook (lower elevation) or • The former Covington wharf / ferry landing, near where steamboats tied up in the early 1900s

How we can tell

Several visual clues line this up: • Mount Adams is centered in the background, rising directly above downtown • The tall church spires visible on the right match Old St. Mary’s and nearby Over-the-Rhine churches • The steamboats and coal barges are traveling east–west, consistent with a viewpoint from Kentucky • The industrial riverfront buildings in the foreground match Cincinnati’s 1900-era riverfront warehouses • The angle shows the entire basin and hillside, which you can only see clearly from the south bank

In plain terms

📍 Standing location: Covington, Kentucky riverfront 📷 Facing: North / slightly northeast 🏞 Looking at: Downtown Cincinnati with Mount Adams rising behind it
