John Jay Barber (1839-1910) |
Description |
In "Delaware Water Gap", Barber depicted not only the countryside's scenic beauty, he also captured a nation undergoing a profound transformation. Notice the railroad lines and massive pillars for a new bridge - both signs of the Transportation Revolution. Late-nineteenth-century improvements in travel and shipping allowed for more efficient transport of natural resources and finsihed goods. |
