Tunnel 3, Temasopa Canon, between 1880 and 1897
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an iconic photograph taken by the renowned American photographer William H. Jackson. This historic image captures the entrance of Tunnel 3 in Temasopa Canon, a geological marvel located in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Central America. The photograph was taken during the late 19th century, a time when the world was being transformed by the expansion of railways and the exploration of new territories. The photograph is a testament to the ingenuity of human endeavor, as it shows the entrance to the tunnel, carved into the cliff face, with daylight streaming in from the other end. The tunnel, a part of the railway line, cuts through the cliffs, providing a metaphorical representation of the light at the end of the tunnel, symbolizing hope and progress. The image is a glass negative, captured using dry plate technology, which was a popular photographic process during the late 1800s. The photograph shows a group of people standing near the tunnel entrance, adding a sense of scale and context to the image. The background is a breathtaking landscape of cliffs and canyons, highlighting the rugged beauty of the geography. William H. Jackson was a prolific photographer, working for the Detroit Publishing Company, and his work is an important part of the country's heritage. This photograph is now housed in the Library of Congress, a fitting repository for this historic image that captures a moment in time and showcases the scientific and geological wonders of the world. The image is a reminder of the past, a window into the history of railways and the exploration of new territories, and a beautiful work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers.
