EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the iconic Lion Bridge in St. Augustine, St. Johns County, Florida, taken between 1936-37 by Frances Benjamin Johnston. This historic bridge is a testament to the architectural marvels of its time and remains an integral part of the city's landscape. Known as the Bridge of Lions, it stands tall over the Intracoastal Waterway, connecting downtown St. Augustine to Anastasia Island across Matanzas Bay. The bridge features two leaf-like sections that can be raised or lowered for passing boats, making it a bascule bridge. Guarded by magnificent replicas of Medici lions on either side, this steel and metal structure showcases intricate engineering and craftsmanship. It was constructed from 1925 to 1927 as part of the Carnegie Survey of Architecture in the South. This photograph beautifully captures not only the grandeur of Lion Bridge but also highlights its significance as a transportation hub for both pedestrians and vehicles alike. The reflection on the water adds depth to this stunning image while emphasizing its connection with nature. As we gaze upon this timeless piece captured through photography, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a symbol of American ingenuity and progress during an era defined by construction and innovation.
