EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Peru Scenes, 1912," is a stunning representation of the rugged terrain and raw beauty of Peru during the early 20th century. The image, created by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, captures a steam locomotive making its way through a snowy landscape, surrounded by towering Andean mountains. The railway line, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, winds its way through the wintry scene, disappearing into the distance. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, was taken by George W. Harris or Martha Ewing Kuntze, both prominent photographers for Harris & Ewing Inc. at the time. The company, established in Washington D.C. in 1896, was a leading provider of photographic services, supplying images to various publications, advertisers, and government agencies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam locomotives ruled the rails and the vast, untamed landscapes of South America were still a mystery to many. The snow-covered mountains in the background add an element of serenity and beauty to the scene, while the steam train chugging along the tracks serves as a reminder of the relentless progress of transportation and human exploration. The photograph, with its rich history and timeless appeal, is an essential addition to any collection of heritage art, geography, or transportation-themed displays. Its intriguing composition and captivating subject matter make it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of South America, the United States, or the early days of railway travel.
