Circle in the Sand: 1901
1901. "Isle of Palms near Charleston, South Carolina." Panorama made from two 8x10 inch glass negatives. Photo by William Henry Jackson. View full size.
White Hot
The slightly over-exposed photo makes that sand look and feel mighty hot. Stunning detail from not only one but two 10x8 glass plates - the ultimate image quality.
The Pavilion
At one time the Isle of Palms Ferris wheel was reported to be the biggest in the world. It inspired a poem that was published in the New York Herald Tribune, that ended with:
Embark to an Arcadian past again
And share the wonder of a miracle;
A giant wheel upon a sandy plain.
Across the bay St. Michael’s tower gleams.
Majestic oaks await no oracle—
No intervals of change attack my dreams.
Sand or snow
Looks almost like Duluth in January.
