EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the bustling streets of Burlington, Iowa in 1875. The image captures the intersection of Cor Fourth and Jefferson Streets, looking westward towards a rapidly growing cityscape. Renowned American photographer Henry N. Twining skillfully composed this albumen silver print, showcasing his keen eye for detail and capturing the essence of urban life during that era. The scene is alive with activity - horse-drawn carriages traverse the cobblestone streets while pedestrians go about their daily routines. The architecture reflects a mix of styles, ranging from elegant Victorian buildings to more modest structures that line both sides of the street. It's fascinating to witness how this small Midwestern town was evolving into a thriving hub of commerce and industry. Twining's mastery in capturing light and shadow adds depth to this historical snapshot. The play between sunlight filtering through clouds creates an enchanting atmosphere, casting long shadows on the pavement below. This subtle interplay enhances our perception of depth within the photograph. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in Burlington's rich history. Through Twining's lens, we catch a glimpse into everyday life over a century ago – an invaluable window into America's past.
