EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1901, showcases the Washington Bridge from the east end in New York City. The Washington Bridge, also known as the Washington Bridge and 6th Avenue Viaduct, was an important infrastructure project of the late 19th century. It was the first steel bridge to span the Harlem River, connecting Manhattan and the Bronx. The image reveals the bridge's impressive steel structure, with its towering piers and intricate trusses. The Harlem River, calm and serene in this photograph, flows gently beneath the bridge, reflecting the industrial cityscape on its surface. The image also captures a glimpse of the bustling cityscape in the background, with buildings and smokestacks visible, hinting at the burgeoning industrialization of New York State during the early 1900s. This photograph is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time and a significant piece of American heritage. It is believed to have been captured using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in process, a popular photographic technique during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The photograph is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress, providing a unique perspective of New York City's history and the country's industrial past. Though the photograph does not depict any motor sports or speedways, it is an intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of the city's rich history and the evolution of transportation infrastructure in the United States.
