Pass of the Crawford Notch - A Glimpse into 19th Century Engineering Marvels
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white albumen print, captured by Benjamin West Kilburn in the late 19th century, takes us on a mesmerizing journey through time. The photograph showcases the awe-inspiring Pass of the Crawford Notch, nestled amidst the picturesque mountain range in New Hampshire, United States. At its heart lies a magnificent steam locomotive chugging along with sheer determination, conquering this challenging terrain. The Frankenstein Trestle bridge stands tall and proud, an emblem of civil engineering prowess that allowed for seamless railway connectivity during that era. Kilburn's expert use of stereoscopic photography transports us to this bygone era as if we were standing right there at that very moment. The depth and detail captured in this albumen silver print stereo make it truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery, our minds wander to a time when railways were not just modes of transportation but symbols of progress and connection. This image encapsulates both natural beauty and human ingenuity harmoniously intertwined. Let us marvel at how far we have come since then while paying homage to those who paved the way for modern advancements in transportation infrastructure. Kilburn's work serves as a reminder that even within seemingly impassable landscapes lie opportunities for innovation and growth.
