EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a group of five stereograph views of canals, dating back to the 1860s-80s. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to these black and white albumen silver prints. The images capture the essence of America's canal system during the 19th century, showcasing its vital role in transportation and waterways. The collection features various scenes along canal banks and basins, with a particular focus on the iconic Erie Canal. These photographs offer a glimpse into a bygone era when canals played a significant role in connecting different parts of the country. Each image is meticulously captured using stereoscopic photography techniques, allowing viewers to experience depth and dimension through stereoscope cards. Preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this collection holds historical significance as it reflects both Victorian-era aesthetics and America's rich heritage in transport infrastructure. As we gaze upon these beautifully preserved albumen prints, we are transported back in time to witness how water transport shaped our nation's development.
