Rare Set of (3) Different Large Cabinet Photos of the Famous 1853 CHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS Railroad Really nice set of 3 original, early large antique cabinet photos. Each photo shows a different scene, angle, and perspective. The wreck and original photos WERE TAKEN IN 1853 AND THESE APPEAR TO BE ORIGINAL 1853 PRINTS.

They show crash in detail, and it is not a pretty sight. Description says "On the B&A RR, across the Westfield River, 5 vestibule cars crush through the bridge and all go down, killing 14 and injuring nearly a hundred, Aug. 31, 1853." Scans show several different scenes and perspectives, all in clear detail.

A great collection for collectors of antique railroad photographs & wrecks & disasters or cabinet photos. Nice sepia tone photographs mounted on light brown card stock. Photographer was Wheeler Jewelry & Photographer, Pittsfield, Mass. ONE OF THE WORST RAILROAD ACCIDENTS IN HISTORY!!

A great reference grouping, or simply for display or a collection. Each measures roughly 7" x 9" overall, with each actual photo 4 1/2" x 7 3/4". Quite suitable for framing or mounting with a collection if desired.

Not in too bad condition for the age. Photos are excellent, and the only damage is to a couple of the corners of the mountings. A VERY RARE GROUPING OF 3 DIFFERENT SCENES OF THIS VERY EARLY, VERY BAD 1853 TRAIN WRECK !!!
