The National Road/Route 40

William JanTausch delivers a historical, photographic account of part of the National Road, otherwise known as Route 40. Built in the early 1800s, the National Road extends from Cumberland, Maryland to Vandalia, Illinois and contains many long, forgotten sites and structures along the way. Although JanTausch's photography style is simplistic, he encourages the viewer to engage with the ordinary in an unordinary way, to bring the forgotten back to the present day.
