EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting town of Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania in 1897. The image showcases the majestic Mount Pisgah, standing tall and proud against a backdrop of rolling hills. This photograph was captured by an unknown artist during a time when the Mauch Chunk and Summit railroad was at its peak, transporting coal from the mountains to barges. Mauch Chunk, originally named Jim Thorpe in 1818, holds a rich history within its charming streets. The town's coal industry played a vital role in shaping its identity and prosperity. In this snapshot from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, we witness the bustling activity along the canal as boats are loaded with precious cargo. The landscape is beautifully depicted in monochrome tones, emphasizing both the natural beauty of Mount Pisgah and the industrial progress that defined this era. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to a time when steam trains chugged through these very tracks. This print serves as a testament to not only Mauch Chunk's past but also to America's growth during the 19th century. It invites us to appreciate both our natural surroundings and our ability as humans to harness resources for progress while preserving scenic landscapes like Mount Pisgah for generations to come.
