EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the treacherous beauty of Tunnel No. 7 and Gallery, located 15 miles above Yale in North America. Known by laborers as the "Slaughter Pen" this precarious tunnel is a testament to the daring engineering feats of its time. The image showcases a dramatic landscape, with steep mountains covered in dense woods surrounding the railway tracks that cut through the valley below. The sheer cliffs and rugged terrain create an atmospheric scene that evokes both awe and danger. The photographer, Richard Maynard, skillfully captures the essence of this remote wilderness. The composition draws your eye down into the valley, where a river winds its way through picturesque countryside. The train tracks disappear into the mouth of Tunnel No. 7, adding to the sense of mystery and adventure. This albumen print from c. 1885 transports us back to an era when rail travel was still relatively new and fraught with risk. It serves as a reminder of human ingenuity in conquering nature's obstacles to connect distant places. Now housed at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada, this remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into North America's rich railroad history. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today as it stands as a testament to both human achievement and our enduring fascination with capturing breathtaking landscapes through photography.
