Abstract:
Reading a century-old photograph through the lens of Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida, this essay examines how even a random snapshot can provide an illuminating "peephole" into the past. In this case the past is a liminal moment in both family history and the history of the Prince Edward Island Railway.
