EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1906, captures the bustling scene on Main Street in Poughkeepsie, New York. The image, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is a silver gelatin glass transparency, showcasing the exceptional clarity and contrast typical of this photographic process. The photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians sharing the street with automobiles. The buildings lining Main Street are a testament to the city's rich history. The Detroit Publishing Company, which published this photograph under the name of Edwin H. Husher, captured the architectural diversity of the area. One can see a mix of brick and stone structures, some adorned with ornate details, while others display more simple designs. The glass windows of the stores reflect the activity within, adding depth and intrigue to the scene. Poughkeepsie, located in the state of New York, was an essential commercial hub during the early 1900s. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the city's urban landscape and its role in the broader American narrative. The photograph's historical significance is further emphasized by its inclusion in the Library's extensive archives, making it a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the United States and its various regions. The photograph's composition is masterful, with a clear vanishing point and a balanced distribution of elements, making it an excellent example of early 20th-century urban photography. The photograph's monochromatic palette adds to its timeless quality, allowing viewers to connect with the past and appreciate the evolution of American cities.
