Titled simply "The terminal," this photogravure from 1892 is a plate made by transferring a photographic image onto a copper printing surface and etching it, a process prized in the 1880s and 1890s for the soft tonal range and fine detail it kept. The title suggests a railway station or other place where lines and journeys ended, a common subject for artists and photographers of the period as rail travel reshaped American cities. The print is mounted on a larger board, which was typical for plates issued in illustrated magazines and portfolios of the time.
