EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Coal Trestle and Car Dumping Plant, Erie, Pa. ca 1900' by William H. Jackson, offers a glimpse into the industrial past of America during the early 20th century. The image, taken by Jackson using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, showcases the impressive coal trestle bridge and car dumping plant located in Erie, Pennsylvania, United States of America. The trestle bridge, a marvel of engineering, stretches out into the distance, carrying railroad tracks over the water surface. In the foreground, a car dumping plant is seen, where coal cars are unloaded, contributing to the industrial activity that once defined this region. The image, published by Detroit Publishing Company, captures the vast expanse of water and the seemingly endless train cars, emphasizing the scale and magnitude of the coal industry during this era. William H. Jackson, the photographer, skillfully composes the shot, framing the trestle and plant against the backdrop of the water. The use of black and white adds to the historical and timeless feel of the photograph, making it a valuable addition to any collection of American history or industrial photography. This photograph, taken around the turn of the century, is a testament to the industrial prowess of the United States during the 1900s. It serves as a reminder of the role that industries like coal played in shaping the country's landscape and economy, and the impact they had on the daily lives of its people.
