EDITORS COMMENTS
William H. Jackson's captivating photograph, titled "Colorado, Canon of the Rio las Animas," transports us back to the late 1890s in the United States. This mammoth plate, measuring 433 x 534 cm, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Colorado landscape, specifically the Canon of the Rio las Animas. The image, taken in 1899, captures the raw power and grandeur of the Animas River as it cuts through the rugged terrain, creating rapids and forming a natural barrier against the encroaching railway line. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of the region, with the railway tracks and train in the foreground hinting at the industrialization and transportation advancements of the time. The trees and plants lining the riverbanks add a vibrant touch of color to the image, created using the Photochrom process. This historic photograph, part of the collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the geographical features and natural wonders that have shaped the American West. The Canon of the Rio las Animas, with its towering cliffs and rushing waters, continues to be a popular destination for travelers and adventurers seeking to explore the natural beauty of Colorado and the United States.
