EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1890 and 1905, captures the Marble quarry near Rutland, Rutland County, Vermont, USA. The image provides a close-up view of the quarry, with large blocks of marble being extracted from the rocky cliffside. The quarry, located in the United States of America, was likely in operation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The geological formation of the area is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the marble, showcasing the scientific and historical significance of the site. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, is a silver gelatin glass transparency, a common photographic process during this time. The image is a testament to the industrial heritage of America and the country's rich history of natural resource extraction. The scene is reminiscent of the hard labor and determination required to extract the valuable marble from the quarry. The photograph is from the collection of the Library of Congress, and the creator is unknown. It is believed that the photograph may have been taken by either Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were active photographers during this period. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of the marble industry in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
