About this work

You see a photo of a big machine on a hill, used for moving heavy things. This photo is interesting because it shows how people worked and moved things during the Civil War era. It's part of a small group of photos taken by Thomas H. Johnson, who documented the Delaware & Hudson Canal and Gravity Railroad operations. Check out the work at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
