EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Poughkeepsie Station, between 1880 and 1897," is a stunning example of 19th century American railway photography. Taken by renowned photographer William H. Jackson, this 8 x 10 inch dry plate negative captures the grandeur and importance of rail travel during this era. The image showcases the impressive Poughkeepsie Station in New York, United States, with its intricate roofline, tall chimneys, and long railway carriages lined up along the tracks. The station, built during the late 1800s, was a significant stop on the Detroit Publishing Company's railway line, connecting various towns and cities across the country. The perspective in this photograph offers a unique view of the station, with the rooftops of nearby buildings and the railway tracks leading the eye towards the distant horizon. The use of a glass negative process adds to the image's historical authenticity, capturing every detail with remarkable clarity. This photograph is not only a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time but also a beautiful piece of art that transports us back to a bygone era. Today, it is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a reminder of the rich history of transportation and travel in America.
