EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Peru Scenes, 1912," is a stunning glimpse into the past, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically the 1910s, when steam locomotives ruled the transportation landscape. The photograph was taken in the beautiful South American country of Peru, showcasing the raw beauty of its rugged terrain and geographical features. In the foreground, we see a powerful steam locomotive, billowing plumes of smoke as it chugs along a railway track, its steam engine roaring with energy. The train, a symbol of modernity and progress, cuts through the landscape, leaving behind a trail of dust and steam. The background is dominated by towering Andean mountains, their snow-capped peaks reaching for the sky, a testament to the grandeur and majesty of nature. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, who were both prominent figures in the Harris Ewing photographic studio. The studio, which was based in Washington D.C., was known for its high-quality glass negatives, which were used to produce this beautiful image. The Harris Ewing Collection, which includes this photograph, is now part of the George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum's Textile Museum Photographic Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of transportation in the Americas, specifically in South America, and the role that steam locomotives played in connecting people and places. It is a beautiful and evocative image that continues to captivate and inspire us, transporting us back in time to a bygone era.
