EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned English artist and illustrator, Frederick Whymper. This image is taken from H.W. Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London during the 1880s. The photograph showcases Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States, during the 1870s. The city is nestled at the foot of the majestic mountains, with the Church of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Temple, standing proudly in the center. The Temple, a significant religious site for the Mormon community, is surrounded by a bustling town, with various buildings and structures visible in the background. The photograph captures the essence of the American frontier spirit, with people going about their daily lives against the backdrop of the vast, open landscape. The mountains in the distance serve as a reminder of the rugged terrain that early settlers had to overcome to reach this remote location. Whymper's skillful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life. The photograph is a testament to the power of art and literature to transport us to different times and places, allowing us to experience history firsthand. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, geography, or art, and is a testament to Whymper's talent as an illustrator. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the lives of people who lived in Salt Lake City during the late 19th century. Overall, "Salt Lake City: Ocean to Ocean, the Pacific Railroad, 1875" is a captivating and evocative photograph that transports us to a time and place far removed from our own, offering us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of America's past.
