EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of the horsecar "Cherrelyn" in Denver, Colorado, in the year 1903. Taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, this image offers a glimpse into the past of transportation in the United States during the early 20th century. The "Cherrelyn," a type of horsecar or streetcar, is shown here with a horse hitched to the front, ready to pull the vehicle along the cobblestone streets. The horse's ears are pricked forward, and its eyes are focused intently on the task at hand. The passengers inside the horsecar appear to be engrossed in their own activities, seemingly unaware of the historical moment being captured by Johnston's camera. The image is a testament to the role horses played in the transportation industry during this period, serving as essential power sources for vehicles like the horsecar. The scene is also a reminder of the gradual transition from animal-drawn transportation to motorized alternatives, which would soon become the norm. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer and architectural recordist, expertly captured the essence of this moment in Denver's history. Her photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of heritage art, providing a unique window into the past and a deeper understanding of the transportation technologies that shaped America during the 1900s.
