Material: Albumen print on card
Date: 1880s
Measurements: 5 × 8 inches
Provenance: Private collection, Utah
Note: Produced as a publicity photograph for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.
Boudoir card photograph of the interior of the Old Church at Ojo Caliente, a small community in present-day northern New Mexico long celebrated for its sacred thermal springs. Produced by photographers W. Henry Brown and George C. Bennett for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. Interior church photographs of this period are particularly uncommon, as the technical challenges of capturing low-light interior spaces with 19th century photographic equipment made such images far less common than exterior views. The AT&SF Railroad commissioned Brown and Bennett to document the landscapes, architecture, and cultures of the Southwest to promote tourism along its expanding route, with historic Spanish colonial religious architecture central to that effort. From a private collection in Utah.
