1868 Alexandria Minnesota Benson Road Glenwood
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a bygone era in rural America. Titled "Benson Road Glenwood Alexandria Minnesota" it showcases the picturesque beauty of a country road near Glenwood, Alexandria, Minnesota. Taken around 1868 by Newton J. Trenham, an American photographer active in Alexandria during the 1860s, this albumen silver print captures the essence of small-town life during that time. The image exudes tranquility and simplicity as we gaze upon the winding road framed by lush trees on either side. The sunlight filters through their branches, casting dappled shadows on the path below. It's easy to imagine horse-drawn carriages or locals strolling along this idyllic route. Trenham's skillful composition draws our attention towards a distant farmhouse nestled amidst rolling fields and farmland. Its presence adds depth to the photograph while evoking a sense of community and human connection within this bucolic landscape. The use of albumen silver print enhances the overall aesthetic appeal with its soft tones and delicate details. This technique was popular during that period due to its ability to produce rich contrasts and fine textures. As we admire this historical gem from Minnesota's past, let us appreciate how photography can transport us across time and space, allowing us glimpses into forgotten moments frozen forever in black and white.
