EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in American history - the completion of the First United States Transcontinental Railway on May 10,1869. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph showcases the historic event with great detail and clarity. It was later used as an illustration for Helmut and Alison Gernsheim's book "Historic Events 1839-1939" published by Longmans in 1960. The source of this image comes from the renowned Gernsheim Collection. In this scene, we see Promontory, Utah as two trains representing different railway companies meet to mark the completion of this monumental project. The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated - it united both coasts of America through rail travel for the first time ever. The photo depicts a symbolic moment when representatives from each company shake hands to commemorate their joint effort in connecting East and West. This gesture represents not only a milestone in transportation but also symbolizes unity and progress for a nation expanding its frontiers. With its historical importance and artistic quality, this gravure-printed photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate one of America's greatest engineering feats that forever changed travel across the vast expanse of our country.
