EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1906, captures the breathtaking beauty of Profile and Notch Road in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, USA. The image, from the collection of the Library of Congress, showcases the winding mountain road as it cuts through the White Mountains, a scenic and historic mountain range in the northeastern United States. The road, which follows the natural contours of the land, is bordered by lush, green trees and plants, creating a picturesque scene that has likely remained largely unchanged for over a century. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was captured using a dry plate or glass negative process, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel through the mountains was an adventure. The road, which appears narrow and rugged in the image, was likely a crucial thoroughfare for locals and early tourists, providing access to the stunning natural beauty of the area. The name "Dixville Notch" refers to the narrow passage between two mountains, which is believed to resemble the profile of a man when viewed from a certain angle. This geographical feature adds to the allure of the area, making it a popular destination for visitors seeking a connection with nature and a sense of history. Today, Profile and Notch Road remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the natural beauty and rich history of New Hampshire's White Mountains. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of this scenic and historic region, and the importance of preserving the natural wonders and cultural heritage of our country for future generations to enjoy.
