Summary	This collection of large-format photographs depicts rural, small town, industrial, and urban landscape scenes; vernacular structures such as barns; and transportation systems and technologies (railroads, ferries, steamships, and roadways). Many images document vanishing aspects of the built environment. There are also several portraits of people working in transportation or other professions, such as conductors, a blacksmith, and a shopkeeper.
