He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist. He was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his renditions of dancers, racecourse subjects and female nudes. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation.

Name Keckley, Elizabeth Authority Source authority source <a href="http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85055360.html">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85055360.html</a> Birth Date 1818 Death Date 1907 Birthplace Petersburg, VA Deathplace Washington, DC Occupation Seamstress Biographical Text Elizabeth Keckley was a former slave who became a successful seamstress, civil activist, and author in Washington, DC. Born into slavery near Petersburg, Virginia, Keckly used her talents as a seamstress and designer to buy her freedom and that of her son. In July of 1860, Elizabeth moved to Washington, D.C. She created an independent business in the capital based on clients who were the wives of the government elite. She was best known as the personal modiste and confidante of Mary Todd Lincoln, the First Lady. Keckley founded the Contraband Relief Association ("CRA") in August 1862, receiving donations from both Lincolns, as well as other white patrons and well-to-do free blacks. The CRA provided food, shelter, clothing, and emotional support to recently freed slaves and/or sick and wounded soldiers. The organization was based in Washington, D.C., but the funds distributed and the services provided helped families in the larger region. After the American Civil War, Keckley wrote and published an autobiography, Behind the Scenes: Or, Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House (1868). It was both a slave narrative and a portrait of the First Family, especially Mary Todd Lincoln, and is considered controversial for breaking privacy about them.

The site features the Main Depot building, constructed in 1830-31; the freight house, designed by E. Francis Baldwin and built in 1885; a replica of the first horse-drawn passenger rail car, the Pioneer; and a 1927 "I-5" Caboose. Housed in the freight house is a 40-foot HO-gauge model train layout showing the original thirteen miles of commercial rail track stretching from Baltimore to Ellicott Mills. The operating layout features an introductory video and light show. Living historians tell the story of the development of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the nation's first common carrier railroad, and its impact on Ellicott City between 1827 and 1868. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum possesses the oldest, most historic and most comprehensive American railroad collections in the world. Dating from the beginning of American railroading, the collection contains locomotives and rolling stock, historic buildings, and small objects that document the impact of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O) on the growth and development of early railroading and cover almost every aspect of an industry that left a permanent mark on the folklore and culture of America. The small object collection covers almost every facet of railroading and includes clocks, pocket watches, textiles, lanterns, dining car china, silver, fine art, communication devices, signals, shop equipment, and an assortment tools and artifacts used on historic occasions such as the laying of the B&O’s ceremonial First Stone on July 4, 1828, which marked the beginning of construction of America’s first railroad.
