Ogle Winston Link (American, 1914-2001) silver gelatin print photograph, “Hotshot Eastbound, Iager, West Virginia, July 1957,” 1957, printed June, 1993. Moviegoers fill automobiles in a 1950s drive-in theater in West Virginia while a train steams past and an image of an airplane appears screen simultaneously. Signed with print date in pencil plus stamped copyright and numbered NW1126 en verso. Housed under plexiglass in a modern wood frame with white mat. Sight: 15 3/4 in h x 19 1/2 in W. Frame: 24 1/2 in H x 28 in W. Note: O. Winston Link was an American photographer whose work is best known for capturing the end of the steam locomotive era in Virginia and surrounding areas. This image is considered one of his masterpieces due to its technical complexity. It features a romanticized scene of 1950s Southern culture while capturing present, past and future (cars, a steam train, and a jet) in a single shot. Source: Encyclopedia of Virginia.
