Channeling the Past: A Glimpse into New England's Granite Industry, c. 1908 This evocative photograph, titled "Channeling," transports us back in time to a New England granite quarry in the early 1900s. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a poignant glimpse into the industrial heritage of the United States, specifically in Concord, Merrimack County, New Hampshire. The scene unfolds at the edge of a vast, open quarry, where several men are hard at work, chiseling away at the granite face. The quarry, a testament to the region's rich natural resources, is a symphony of textures and contrasts - the rough, rugged terrain, the smooth, polished stones, and the stark, industrial tools. The men, dressed in heavy work clothes and wearing protective goggles, are dwarfed by the towering quarry walls, their determined expressions a testament to the physical demands of their labor. The photograph's title, "Channeling," is a metaphor for the process of extracting the raw, untamed granite from the earth and transforming it into a valuable resource. The men, with their ladders and chisels, are the human embodiment of this metamorphosis, their labor a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the American spirit. This 8 x 10 inch dry plate glass negative, part of the Library of Congress' extensive collection, is a poignant reminder of the past, a time when the United States was at the forefront of the global industrial revolution. It is a reminder of the men and women who toiled in the quarries, mines, and factories, shaping the country's industrial landscape and leaving an indelible mark on its history.
