16 X 1855 1904 Crossing Gelatin Silver Pennsylvania William H Whitford
EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print, titled "Low Grade Crossing at Whitford" captures a moment frozen in time. Taken by the talented American photographer William H. Rau in 1904, this image transports us to Whitford, Pennsylvania, United States. The photograph showcases a low grade crossing, where a seemingly endless railway track stretches into the distance. The composition is beautifully framed with lush greenery on both sides of the tracks and an expansive sky above. The play of light and shadows adds depth to the scene, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and mysterious. Rau's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the intricate textures of the railroad ties to the delicate wisps of smoke rising from a distant locomotive. The sizeable dimensions of 44 x 54.6 cm (17 5/16 x 21 1/2 in. ) allow for an immersive viewing experience, making it feel as though one could step right into this historical moment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded not only of Rau's technical prowess but also his ability to capture everyday scenes with artistic flair. This photograph serves as a testament to Rau's contribution to American photography during his lifetime and continues to captivate viewers well over a century later.
