19th Century Photos

Alexander Gardner - Lincoln Inauguration - March 4 ,1865

Andrew Joseph Russell - Bridge on Orange and Alexandria Rail Road, as Repaired by Army Engineers under Colonel Herman Haupt - 1865

This view by Russell documents the engine Fire Fly testing the stability of a new wooden trestle bridge built quickly by the United States Military Railroad engineers.

Five Members of the Wild Bunch - 1892

The Wild Bunch was the largest and most notorious band of outlaws in the American West. Led by two gunmen better known by their aliases, Butch Cassidy (Robert LeRoy Parker) and Kid Curry (Harvey Logan), the Wild Bunch was an informal trust of thieves and rustlers that preyed upon stagecoaches, small banks, and especially railroads from the late 1880s to the first decade of the twentieth century.

From the top left, Kid Curry, Bill McCarty, Bill (Tod) Carver, Ben Kilpatrick, and Tom O'Day. Without their six shooters and cowboy hats the outlaws appear quite civilized and could easily be mistaken for the sheriffs and Pinkerton agents who pursued them in a "Wild West" already much tamed by the probable date of this photograph

Eugenio Interguglielmi - Catacombs, Convento dei Cappucini, Palermo - 1895 - More than eight thousand embalmed corpses line the walls of the capuchin convent in Palermo, Sicily. They are organized by gender, age, and even profession, according to the same class and social hierarchies that shaped their lives. Here a blinding light shines on rows of clergy adorned in their finest vestments, bringing the spectacle of death to life.

Artists' Excursion on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad - 1858

Eighteen-year-old Alice Liddell’s slumped pose, clasped hands, and sullen expression invite interpretation. A favored model of Lewis Carroll, and the namesake of his novel Alice in Wonderland, Liddell had not seen the writer and photographer for seven years when this picture was made; her mother had abruptly ended all contact in 1863. The young woman poses with apparent unease in this portrait intended to announce her eligibility for marriage.

Pierre-Louis Pierson - Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione - 1861

Carleton E. Watkins - The Grizzly Giant, Mariposa Grove, Yosemite - 1861

Eiffel Tower - 1890s

Sioux Indians - 1890s

Maori women with Moko kauae

{received by women on their lips and chin. A moko kauae represents a woman's whānau and leadership within her community, recognising her whakapapa, status, and abilities. It is a traditional taonga passed down over many generations from the ancestress Niwareka.}
