Provenance
Brown leather album with "Photographs" printed on the spine. Contains carte de visites, only two of which are identified. Most were taken by local photographers during the 1860s.
The Reading Railroad and the Cornwall Railroad shared motive power on the "Joint Line," bewteen Lancaster and Lebanon. In this beautiful study of Victorian era railroading from the collection of James Tshudy, the conductor rides the pilot beam of the Cornwall's stately 4-4-0, the "Penryn," as it heads up Lancaster's Water Street after leaving the Reading's King Street station at the old Stevens House. It was a winter day in 1896 and more snow lay ahead in the hills around Mount Hope. Photo, James A. Tshudy, Ephrata, Pa.
