The Grand Canyon is the subject here, and this panoramic view stretches the frame wide enough to show the canyon's layered rims running toward the horizon in tones of gray. Black-and-white panoramas of the canyon were a popular way for early twentieth-century photographers and railroad promoters to convey the scale of a landscape that was hard to capture in a single standard image. Such views helped draw visitors to the South Rim, where tourism grew rapidly after rail service reached the area in 1901. Look closely at the strata in the foreground and the shadows cast into the inner gorge, which reveal the depth that the wide format was meant to suggest.
