EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the winter of 1893 in the bustling city of Minnesota, USA. In this historic snapshot, we witness a remarkable snowplough train-tram diligently clearing the streets from heavy snowfall. The image exudes an old-world charm, transporting us to a bygone era. The scene is filled with nostalgia as we observe the tram gracefully gliding through the snowy landscape. Its powerful snowplough attachment stands out prominently against the wintry backdrop, showcasing its vital role in keeping transportation routes accessible during harsh winters. The photograph's horizontal composition allows us to appreciate not only the impressive machinery but also provides glimpses into daily life at that time. As we peer beyond the tram, we catch sight of vintage buildings lining both sides of the street, their facades dusted with a layer of pristine white snow. Preserved within a private collection belonging to Santiago Ortega, this rare gem offers a unique insight into early methods of snow removal and urban transport. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience in adapting technology for practical purposes even over a century ago. As we admire this historical artifact captured on film, let it remind us how far our cities have come in terms of modernization and efficiency while paying homage to those who braved extreme weather conditions to ensure smooth operations for their communities.
