EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "From railway bridge, Geneva, Ill. between 1880 and 1899," showcases an impressive railroad bridge spanning the tranquil Fox River in Geneva, Kane County, Illinois, United States of America. The exact date of this image is unknown, but it is believed to have been captured between 1880 and 1899. The bridge, a marvel of engineering during the 19th century, is identified as the Chicago and North Western Railway bridge. The photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches, was captured using a dry plate negative or glass negative process, a common photographic method during this era. The image is rich in detail, with the intricate structure of the bridge's iron girders and trusses clearly visible, as well as the gentle curves of the river and the lush greenery along its banks. The Chicago and North Western Railway Company, which operated the railroad during this time, played a significant role in the transportation infrastructure of the United States. The company's influence extended beyond Chicago, as evidenced by this image taken in Geneva, a small town located approximately 40 miles west of the city. This photograph, from the collection of Detroit Publishing Company and now housed in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich history of transportation in America during the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the engineering prowess and the beauty of the country's geographical features.
