EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Puerto Rico Roads, Bridges, And Road Construction, 1912," captures the rugged terrain and natural beauty of Puerto Rico during the early 20th century. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases a wooden footbridge spanning a picturesque waterfall. The bridge, built for crossing a river or a cataract, appears sturdy yet rustic, with the wooden planks worn smooth by the passage of time and the elements. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rural life of Puerto Rico during this period, with men constructing and maintaining the roads and bridges. The image also highlights the country's geographical features, including the lush vegetation, rocks, and natural phenomena that make Puerto Rico a unique and captivating destination. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives taken by George W. Harris, Martha Ewing Kuntze, and Martha Ewing Newcombe between 1910 and 1940. The collection is a valuable resource for researchers and historians, providing insights into the social, cultural, and historical context of the United States during this era. The photograph's composition, with the bridge and waterfall framed by the trees and rocks, showcases the artistic skills of the photographers and their ability to capture the essence of the landscape. Overall, this image is a testament to the rich heritage of American photography and the enduring allure of Puerto Rico's natural beauty.
