Aberglaslyn Road 1860 - 1894

"Aberglaslyn Road" is a black and white photograph taken by Francis Bedford between 1860 and 1894, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection. The image depicts a winding road in a rural setting with a stone building on the left. The composition features a long, receding perspective, emphasizing the road's journey through the landscape. The scene, with its emphasis on the rural and picturesque, reflects the popularity of landscape photography in the 19th century. The use of a large format camera captures the detail of the stone wall and the texture of the road, characteristics of Bedford's work.
