YOU ARE BIDDING ON A WONDERFUL LARGE PANORAMIC VIEW OF KODAK TENNESSEE UTILIZING FOUR REAL PHOTO POSTCARDS. PHOTOS TAKEN BY T.C. FARNHAM OF OAKDALE, TENNESSEE IN 1908. VERY DETAILED BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS. TOWN OF KODAK IS SEEN IN THE DISTANCE ACROSS THE RIVER. TRAIN TRACKS ARE IN THE FOREGROUND. CLEARLY SEEN ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX CARS ARE THE LETTERS C.N.O.& T.P. AND B&O. THIS IS THE CINCINNATI, NEW ORLEANS, AND TEXAS PACIFIC RAILWAY IT RAN FROM CINCINNATI, OHIO SOUTH T...O CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE FORMING PART OF THE NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM. FIVE CARS ARE VISIBLE IN THESE PHOTOS. A THREE SECTION STEEL BRIDGE IS SEEN CROSSING THE RIVER. A HANDCAR IS SEEN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE TRACKS. THE PHOTOS MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AS NO LEAVES ARE ON THE TREES AND SMOKE CAN BE SEEN COMING FROM CHIMNEYS ON BOTH THE HOUSES AND TRAIN CARS. HOWEVER, IT MUST HAVE NOT BEEN TOO COLD AS QUILTS ARE SEEN HANGING ON THE LINE NEXT TO THE RIVER. ALSO SEEN VERY CLEARLY ARE OUTHOUSES. ROOFS ON THE HOUSES ARE EITHER METAL OR WOOD SHINGLES. TWO PEOPLE LOOK TO BE TO THE RIGHT OF THE LAST TRAIN CAR ON THE RIGHT. NO ANIMALS OR WAGONS CAN BE SEEN, BUT I FIND MORE EVERYTIME I LOOK AT IT. OAK FRAME IS GOOD WITH A FEW NICKS. GLASS IS GOOD, WOOD BACK IS GOOD. ORIGINAL WIRE HANGER PRESENT. A GREAT EARLY REAL PHOTO LANDSCAPE SERIES OF POSTCARDS FOR YOUR COLLECTION. RARE AND WONDERFUL. DIMENSIONS: 30 INCHES LONG, 9 INCHES WIDE, AND 1 INCH DEEP. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PHOTO. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK.
