EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a group of three stereograph views of Connecticut, United States of America, dating back to the 1850s-1910s. The image captures the Old Capitol Prison in Washington DC, District of Columbia during the American Civil War era. The albumen silver prints beautifully depict the exterior of this historic building which served as a penitentiary during that time. The photograph transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into America's rich heritage and its connection to law and crime. The old brick capitol stands tall against the backdrop of an open landscape, symbolizing both strength and vulnerability. S. C. Northrop skillfully captured this scene using stereoscopic photography techniques, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality within the image. As we observe this stereocard through a stereoscope card or view it with naked eyes, we are transported into another world - one where history comes alive. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this print serves as a reminder of our country's past struggles and triumphs. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those turbulent times while appreciating our shared cultural identity. With its meticulous attention to detail and evocative composition, S. C. Northrop's photograph offers viewers an opportunity to explore not only Connecticut's historical significance but also their own personal connection with American history.
