Wonderful photo! Ditto, I am happy LC is
doing this. I was 1 month old when this was
taken, in Illinois to boot, and this scene
brings back fond memories.
The more railroad pictures you post, the
better! Bravo and thank you.

This is a real treasure of the public domain.
I think it is fantastic to make these
available through Flickr, the best photo
sharing site around.
It is a shame they have not uploaded the
full resolution images. The LOC's own site
will often have 20MB scans of these photos.
I've made some beautiful prints of New York's
Penn Station from there.

Thomas, the link to the persistent URL in the

high-resolution version of the image. Good
luck!

I have an ongoing project (brand new, of
course), started in an effort to help restore
the color to these images, but also try to
maintain the integrity and charm of the
original.
Here is the adjusted photo:

This is an amazing collection. We are glad to
see other institutions using flickr to
display extraordinary pictures. The
Westerville Public Library is doing something
similar using the Flickr API to celebrate the
city's 150th anniversary. Take a look:

I don't understand: Why is there absolutely no metadata in the files we all can download via the All
Sizes link? Why not IPTC?
Posted 6 months ago.
( permalink

|
|
|
Perhaps because no one had time to enter any
into the file? I would imagine there are tens
of thousands of images (if not more) that
need updating. But likely no one to do it (or
very few people). I can't pretend to know the
answer to your question, but considering the
photo was taken in the 1940s, I have to
hazard a guess that the camera didn't automatically insert
any IPTC data when it was taken. Perhaps if
you can find the photographer, you can ask
why he/she didn't use a better camera.

You've heard of film, right? ;-) I'm pretty
sure those film cameras were lacking the
metadata.

One suggestion: It looks like the images
aren't tagged by the photographer's name.
That would be very helpful for searching.
