Railroad Station, New Bedford, Mass.

Notes: This is the second in a pair of cards sent by Olney from New Bedford; and, coincidently, the third in a chronological sequence made by the same (unidentified) manufacturer. This last fact matters. It explains why you see cross-hatching in the portion of the card that shows the train tracks… or on the roof of the station. The card manufacturer used a different process to reproduce the image, hence you get this so-called “moiré” pattern from the scan. That moiré pattern (cross-hatching) isn’t present in the original. Yet all of the scan settings were exactly what they have been for previous cards. What’s different is the technique that was used to replicate the image.
