EDITORS COMMENTS
This photochrom print, titled "Syracuse from the University," transports us back in time to the early 1900s in Syracuse, New York, USA. The image, created by an unknown photographer, showcases a breathtaking view of the cityscape from the University's vantage point. With the turn of the century, Syracuse was undergoing significant growth and transformation, as evidenced by the impressive array of buildings and structures visible in this photograph. Located in the heart of New York State, Syracuse was a bustling hub of activity, attracting travelers and students from all corners of the country and beyond. The city's rich heritage is on full display in this photograph, with the majestic edifice of Edwin H. Husser Library at Syracuse University standing proudly at the center. The library, completed in 1895, was a testament to the institution's commitment to education and knowledge. The photochrom process, a popular method for producing colorized images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brings an added layer of vibrancy and depth to this historic print. The technique involved the use of multiple black-and-white negatives, which were then hand-tinted by skilled artisans to create a rich, colorful image. This photograph, now held in the collections of the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the history and heritage of Syracuse and the United States during a pivotal time in American history.
