EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken around 1905, the grand exterior of the Brooks Memorial Library in Brattleboro, Vermont, is showcased in all its glory. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the library was a new and impressive addition to the community. The library, located in Windham County, Vermont, United States, is a historic landmark that has stood the test of time. Designed by architect Edwin H. Husher, the building exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. The steps leading up to the entrance, flanked by ornate columns and framed by large glass windows, invite visitors to take a step inside and explore the wealth of knowledge within. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the skill of the photographer, be it Alexander Curtis Currier or another unknown artist. The use of a dry plate negative or glass negative process results in a high-quality image, with intricate details and a stunning contrast between light and shadow. The Brooks Memorial Library, established in 1891, was named after local philanthropist and businessman, John Brooks. It was originally intended to serve as a public library and a branch of the Congressional Library. Today, it continues to be an essential part of the Brattleboro community, providing access to a vast collection of books, archives, and other resources. This photograph is a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and highlighting the importance of the library as a cultural and educational institution. It is a reminder of the rich heritage that surrounds us and the value of preserving our history for future generations.
