Fourth Iron Trestle
Francois de Melogue
2023 | Archival pigment print on archival satin photo paper | 25×17
The tracks run straight and level through the gravel, littered with fallen leaves the color of rust and dried blood, before they meet the iron portal of the trestle. The structure rises with the blunt confidence of old industrial work — riveted crossbeams, latticed diagonals, the whole frame darkened by weather and time to the color of dried iron ore. It does not lean or sway. It simply holds, as it has held for over a century, against the weight of everything that has crossed it.
Beyond the portal, the forest is on fire. Not literally, but the distinction barely matters. Crimson maples press against one another in the corridor of trees framed by the trestle's arch, lit from within by the particular low-angled light of a New Hampshire October. The green at the edges has not yet surrendered. It makes the red burn hotter by contrast. To stand at the end of those tracks and look through that frame is to feel the season at its most concentrated — the air carrying the faint sweetness of decaying leaves, the cold already threaded through it, the whole thing beautiful in the way that things are beautiful when they will not last.
Quality is about longevity. I use a high-resolution Canon R5 Mark II to capture every detail of the White Mountains landscape. Each piece is printed in-studio using professional-grade Canon Pro-1100 and Epson P9000 systems with archival pigment inks on natural cotton paper to create a print that will last for generations.
Print only, with a 1/4 inch wide white bordering for convenient matting and (or) framing.
Unmatted (unmounted) / unframed.
Materials used:
Shot on a Canon EOS R5 Mark II. Printed on a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 using museum-grade archival pigment inks on archival satin photo paper.
