    I don't think this is Baden-Baden? This looks like beeing the Rhine, Loreley en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loreley, I'm pretty sure.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Alice C: Thanks for the information! I am not sure if the images at wikipedia confirm that this is Loreley Rock, as they are taken from a different angle. We will leave source data as is for now, but let us know if you find any more photos that confirm the location.
  • trialsanderrors said:
    This is certainly not Baden-Baden as the Upper Rhine Valley is wide and flat, and the Vosges and Black Forest are set back from the riverbanks by a couple of miles. The scenery is very reminiscent of the Rhine Gorge between Bingen and Koblenz: the valley is very narrow and the rail line is right up on the left bank. There are a number of cliffs and bends in the gorge, so I'm not certain that it is the Loreley, but the tags should probably read "Koblenz", "Rhine Gorge", "Middle Rhine Valley" and "Rhineland-Palatinate" rather than the last four.

    Hi, I am a geographer living at Freiburg (Black Forest), I agree with trailsanderrors. You should delete the following tags: Baden-Baden, Baden-Württemberg, Black Forest, Karlsruhe, Schwarzwald They are definitely wrong and misleading. You can compare the image with Google Earth view of Baden-Baden and its surroundings and you will find out, that there is no castle next to a big river anywhere. -- Found in a search. (?)

    PANCHO VILLA'S ARRANGEMENT WITH MUTUAL FILM CO.: "In January 1914, Pancho Villa became Hollywood's first Mexican superstar when he signed an exclusive contract with the Mutual Film Corporation. In return for $25,000, he agreed to keep other film companies from his battlefield, to fight in daylight whenever possible, and to reconstruct battles if the footage needed reshooting. "Now the subject of an HBO film starring Antonio Banderas (And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself), Villa is one of the main protagonists in Margarita de Orellana's vivid account of the American movie industry's fascination with the events of the Mexican Revolution. "Through memoir accounts, newspaper reports, and analysis of the films themselves, "Filming Pancho" reveals much about how Mexico was constructed in the American imagination and how the film images reinforced and justified American expansionism and racial and social prejudices." --From a description, on Amazon, of a documentary movie of Hollywood's treatment of the Mexican Revolution. (The DVD is available for purchase from various Amazon vendors.) ====================================================================== Other Bain/LOC photos of the Mexican Revolution, bearing copyright notice of the Mutual Film Co.:

    Thanks Wystan, for finding the information and linking the other Mutual Film images. In addition to the Bain images, the library has another great photo in our New York World- Telegraph & Sun Newspaper collection, www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2005695716/ showing Pancho Villa with members of the film crew. We'll fill in the caption information in the records for these images the next time we update them.
