EDITORS COMMENTS
This albumen print captures the interior view of the main hall of Sing Sing Prison, located on the East Side. Standing an impressive six stories high, this formidable structure houses a staggering 600 cells. The photograph, taken in 1860/69 by Anthony & Company, showcases the architectural grandeur and meticulous design of this notorious penitentiary. The monochromatic black and white tones add to the somber atmosphere within these prison walls. The image provides a glimpse into the stark reality faced by inmates during the 19th century in America. With its towering ceilings and rows upon rows of cells, it is impossible not to feel a sense of confinement and isolation. Sing Sing Prison holds historical significance as one of New York State's most prominent correctional facilities. This particular print, numbered 4318 from the "Sing Sing Prison Views" series, offers viewers an intimate look at life behind bars during this era. Anthony & Company's expertise in stereoscopic photography is evident in their ability to capture depth and dimensionality within this image. As we observe each intricate detail within this photograph - from iron bars to dimly lit corridors - we are transported back in time to witness firsthand what life was like inside these imposing prison walls. This albumen print serves as both a testament to our collective history and a reminder of society's ongoing struggle with crime and punishment.
