Bau der New Yorker U-Bahn
Zusammenfassung
Fotografien können manchmal einem rein praktischen Zweck dienen, wie etwa der Dokumentation von Bauarbeiten. In den Jahren um 1910 haben Pierre und Grant Pullis (Vater und Sohn?) Hunderte von Fotos vom Bau der New Yorker U-Bahn gemacht. Sie verwendeten die extrem einfache Cyanotypie-Technik, die blaue Abdrücke von großer und unbeabsichtigter Schönheit hervorbrachte.
Historische Fotos der New Yorker U-Bahn
The history of the subway, or underground railway, dates back to the 19th century. The first underground railway was the Metropolitan Railway in London, which opened in 1863. It was proposed for London by Charles Pearson, a city solicitor, as part of a city-improvement plan shortly after the opening of the Thames Tunnel in 1843. The subway quickly became a popular mode of transportation in urban areas, as it allowed people to travel quickly and efficiently through the city. Over time, many cities around the world built their own subway systems, and today, subway trains are a common sight in many major cities. The technology used in subway systems has evolved over time, and modern trains are faster and more efficient than ever before.
