Description: Historical copy photograph shows the destruction of the Petersburg Railroad Station in RIchmond, Virginia. Taped down copy on back reads, “Crumbling masonry and the ruins of a locomotive at a Richmond, Va., railroad station in April 1865, are symbolic of the fate of much of the South’s railway network as the result of four years of war. Destruction was widespread. In some areas it virtually complete with locomotives and cars destroyed, ties burned, rails twisted around tree trunks and little left of the railroad but a charred right-of-way. The rebuilding of wreaked railroads at a time when the South was all but bankrupt is no small part of the amazing story of the South’s rise from its own ashes”. Photograph measures 8 x 10 inches and is in excellent condition with no bends, tears, or creases and is very sharp and has strong tones with good contrast and clarity. Back has writing mentioned above. Please email with any questions and please "VIEW SELLERS OTHER ITEMS". Thanks. I combine shipping up to 3 prints for the same price as 1.
