Gezicht op het treinspoor bij Sing Sing Correctional Facility 1871 - 1877

This stereoscopic photograph, titled "Gezicht op het treinspoor bij Sing Sing Correctional Facility" by G.W. Pach, depicts a view of the railroad tracks that ran alongside Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York. Taken between 1871 and 1877, the photograph shows the imposing stone walls of the prison, highlighting the harsh realities of incarceration during this time period. Pach's work, like many of his contemporaries, captures the changing landscape of the United States in the 19th century, especially in the context of industrialization and prison reform.
