Guy Le Boyer's "Rails," created between 1930 and 1940, is a striking black and white photograph that focuses on the converging lines of railway tracks. The image's composition emphasizes the stark contrasts of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The photograph's simple subject matter and formal composition are characteristic of modernist photography, showcasing the beauty and visual power found in everyday objects and scenes.

Even though much is written about photography nowadays, virtually nothing is known about some of its practitioners. Yet at times they, too, took photographs of a high visual caliber. Guy Le Boyer is such a photographer. When, where, and to what purpose he took this photograph of rails remains a mystery. However, this in no way detracts from its quality.
