EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Worthen Street, Lowell Mass" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Lowell, Massachusetts around 1874. Captured by Simon Towle, an American photographer active in Lowell during the late 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases his keen eye for detail and composition. The image transports us to a quaint corner of Worthen Street, where rows of charming brick buildings line the cobblestone road. The architectural beauty is evident as we admire the intricate facades adorned with ornate moldings and large bay windows. The street comes alive with activity; pedestrians stroll along the sidewalks while horse-drawn carriages pass by, leaving traces of dust behind. Towle's mastery lies not only in capturing a moment frozen in time but also in preserving it through his choice of medium - albumen silver print. This technique was popular during that era and involved coating photographic paper with egg white (albumen) mixed with salts before exposing it to light. The result is a rich tonal range and exquisite details that enhance our visual experience. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how photography has evolved over time yet continues to hold immense power in transporting us across generations. It allows us to witness slices of history like this one on Worthen Street, offering glimpses into everyday life from decades past.
