EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the Lomen Brothers between 1900 and 1930, showcases an aerial tramway in Nome, Alaska, United States. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century frontier, where the harsh Arctic landscape was a formidable challenge for settlers. The aerial tramway, suspended mid-air, was an essential means of transportation for the arrival and departure of passengers and cargo in this remote location. The photograph captures a group of men, dressed in heavy coats and hats, gathered on the platform, waiting for their turn to board. The tramway, consisting of a series of pulleys and ropes, stretches across the geographical feature, providing a unique and unusual view to the sea. The men, with determined expressions, appear to be eager to begin their journey, ready to face the challenges of the Arctic frontier. The arrival of the tramway marked a significant milestone in the development of Nome, opening up new opportunities for trade and commerce. The Lomen Brothers, renowned for their photography studio, captured this moment in history, providing us with a glimpse into the past and the meeting of frontiers in this remote corner of North America.
