Bartlett Tower, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, ca. 1900: A Timeless Symbol of Education and Natural Beauty This photograph captures the iconic Bartlett Tower at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA, around the turn of the 20th century. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, showcases the tower's majestic presence amidst the picturesque campus landscape. Bartlett Tower, also known as the Observatory Tower, was built in 1873 as part of the college's commitment to scientific research and education. Standing tall at over 100 feet, the tower offered students and scholars an unobstructed view of the night sky, allowing them to study the stars and planets in greater detail. The photograph reveals the tower's intricate design, with its distinctive red roof and ornate wooden exterior, which was constructed primarily from local fir trees. The surrounding landscape is equally captivating, with lush trees and plants providing a beautiful contrast against the tower's sturdy structure. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of Dartmouth College and the broader American educational system during the late 19th century. The photograph's crisp, clear lines and striking contrasts speak to the precision and artistry of the dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 inch process, which was widely used during this period. Today, Bartlett Tower remains an enduring symbol of Dartmouth College's commitment to academic excellence and the natural beauty of the Hanover, New Hampshire, landscape. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of education and the enduring allure of the natural world.
