Explore the captivating world of atmospheric perspective through these vintage postcards. Witness the stunning contrast between the foreground and background in The Incline Railway, Mount Beacon, N. Y. (1903), where the railway's monochrome hues give way to the vibrant, distant mountain. Experience the same effect in Grand Rapids, Michigan (ca. 1900), as the cityscape fades into the hazy, blue-grey horizon. The Incline Railway, Mount Beacon (ca. 1903) once again showcases this technique, with the Casino on Summit blending seamlessly into the atmospheric veil. The Summit of Bald Mountain (ca. 1904) postcard offers an ethereal, dreamlike quality as the trees and mountains dissolve into the mist. Lansing, Michigan (ca. 1900) and Rivermouth Landing, Portsmouth, New Hampshire (1904) further illustrate the power of atmospheric perspective, inviting us to explore the depth and mystery of each scene.
