EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a group of admirers gathered around the REO Mountaineer, a pioneering automobile that completed a remarkable journey from New York to San Francisco and back between 1900 and 1905. The image, captured using a dry plate negative glass measuring 65 x 85 inches, is a testament to the awe and wonder that the advent of automobiles brought to the American people during the early 20th century. The REO Mountaineer, manufactured by the Detroit Publishing Company, was a touring car that defied the challenges of long-distance travel in the United States and Central America. The men in the photograph, dressed in the fashion of the era, seem to be in awe of the vehicle's power and durability. The roadside location adds to the sense of adventure and the feeling of being part of history in the making. The photograph, which is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the courage and determination of early automobile pioneers like Edwin H. Husher, who drove the REO Mountaineer on this historic journey. The image also highlights the social aspect of automobile travel during this period, as groups of people would gather to witness the passing of these remarkable machines. This photograph is a valuable piece of heritage art that captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the excitement and wonder that came with the dawn of the automotive age in America.
