EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century in New Hampshire, where the Frankenstein Trestle and Train stood proudly amidst the Crawford Notch. The image showcases a steam locomotive gracefully crossing a wooden trestle bridge, an impressive feat of civil engineering for its time. The photographer, Benjamin West Kilburn, masterfully captures the rugged beauty of this mountainous region. The towering peaks of the surrounding mountain range provide a breathtaking backdrop to this remarkable structure. It is evident that Kilburn's keen eye for detail and composition has immortalized this scene in stunning clarity. The Frankenstein Trestle itself stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Its sturdy construction allowed trains from the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad to traverse through this challenging terrain with ease, connecting distant communities and fostering economic growth. As we gaze upon this albumen silver print stereo, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves standing on that very trestle bridge witnessing history unfold before our eyes. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of America's rich railway heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery, this piece exemplifies how photography can be both an art form and a historical document. Through BW Kilburn's lens, we gain insight into an era long gone but forever preserved within these monochromatic tones.
