chapeau

Aujourd'hui j'aurais commenté cette photo en disant, oui ! bien les sujets amorçant l'alignement des colonnades ! Mais au début de l'art photographique il n'est pas du tout certain qu'une telle recherche dans l'esthétique ait existé. Le débat est ouvert !

This is a very Romantic type of Photo which brings wisps of the past into the 21st century. I wonder, is this building still standing and have the decendants of the Obvious, Ladies and Gentlemen seen these Photos ? also is that the rise of the Pyrenees in the background. ( can the above comment from ''Amodalie'' be Translated into English)

Just a few miles down the road from here. The land still looks much like this, but with more trees. It's odd to see such an old photo that (other than the horse and buggy) could've been taken yesterday on just about any rural road a few miles from here.

It's a shame there are JPG compression artifacts on these photos. And maybe some unsharp mask artifacts as well? Hey government worker, wake up.

Check the Persistent URL: hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/fsac.1a33874 for the link to the original LOC page for this. From there you can get the 42MB TIFF if you really feel the quality of this isn't up to snuff.

Thank you so much for engaging the Library of Congress in the new age of photo sharing. It is much appreciated by this citizen and I'm sure by many others. The LOC is one of the few stops in Washington I have yet to visit, and this gives me a window into what I've been missing. I can't wait to see the real thing next time I'm in DC.

There is no sense of motion in the photo. The cart appears to be stopped. Perhaps for photographic reasons?

Wonderful.

Nice pic!
