EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1903, depicts a group of white people posing in front of a Pullman railroad car in Denver, Colorado. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the excitement and wonder of rail travel during the early 20th century in the United States. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent female photographer of the era, skillfully composed this full-length group portrait. The men and women, dressed in their finest attire, exude a sense of pride and joy as they gather around the iconic railroad car. The steam locomotive in the background adds to the scene's authenticity, emphasizing the transportation revolution that was transforming the country. An intriguing detail in this photograph is the presence of an African American porter at the right side of the railroad car. His inclusion in the scene underscores the diverse workforce that was essential to the functioning of the railways during this period. The porter's attire, complete with a white apron and cap, highlights his professional role within the Pullman Company. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, is a testament to the rich history of rail travel in America and the multifaceted roles that individuals played in shaping the transportation landscape of the early 1900s.
