EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in approximately 1907, captures the unrenovated Factory building in the Bronx, New York City. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the industrial landscape of the area before its transformation into the Bronx Parkway Commission headquarters. At the turn of the 20th century, the Factory stood as a testament to the burgeoning industrial era in the United States. Its imposing exterior, with its tall smokestacks and expansive facade, speaks to the power and progress of the era. The photograph, part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Lantern Slides collection at the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the country's industrial heritage. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, documented the changing landscape of the United States during this period. Her work, which includes progress photographs and landscape images, provides a valuable record of the country's architectural and cultural history. In this particular photograph, the Factory stands alone, its industrial might on full display. The image is devoid of people, yet the sense of activity and industry is palpable. The photograph's inclusion in the Library of Congress collection is a testament to its historical significance and serves as a reminder of the Bronx's industrial past. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, to an era of progress and industry. The Factory, now long gone, stands as a symbol of the past, a reminder of the Bronx's industrial heritage, and a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve history.
