EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to July 1863, capturing the No. 189 Maryland Avenue Depot in Washington D. C. The image, taken by A. J. Russell, an American photographer from that era, showcases a significant moment in history. In this snapshot of time, we witness engines sent from Alexandria for safety purposes during a tumultuous period. The depot stands as a symbol of resilience amidst the chaos that engulfed the nation's capital during the Civil War. The albumen silver print technique employed by Russell adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical significance. Through his lens, he immortalizes this pivotal location where trains arrived and departed daily with passengers and goods alike. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of our shared past and how far we have come since those challenging times. It evokes curiosity about what stories these engines carried within their carriages—stories of hope or despair? Let us appreciate this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection for its ability to transport us into another era—a time when steam locomotives were at the forefront of transportation technology—and reflect on how these moments shaped our present-day society.
