Title A name given to the resource Scene of Corning, New York Description An account of the resource We look north across the Chemung River to the town of Corning, a settlement of about 4,000 at the time. In the background is Dutch Hill, showing signs of deforestation that would grow in the years ahead as Corning became a manufacturing center. In the foreground a man and woman walk along a rutted dirt road. Her attire—namely, leggings popularly known as "bloomers"—are noteworthy because it marks her as a social progressive. The physical and social mobility they implied still were considered radical a little over a decade after their introduction.

Title A name given to the resource Corning, N.Y. 1882 Description An account of the resource Subtitle of this bird's eye view of southern tier town makes clear the importance of rail lines to its economic viability: "Junction of the New York, Lake Erie, and Western and the Syracuse, Geneva & Corning R.R.'s." The yards of those railroads are depicted at the far left and right of the panorama; between them, the town of nearly 5,000 (in 1880) shows manufacturing along the river, retail and residential streets, then highest up the hill a few remaining farms and forest. Also typical of the genre are the sixteen individual portraits bordering the bird's eye view--probably drawn for an additional charge or the promise of buying copies of the lithograph in bulk. At upper left, the Corning Glass Works already occupies a prominent place in the town's identity. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Corbin, C. J.
