EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "New Bridge Potomac River" that stood proudly in Washington Alexandria during the 19th century. Built as part of the esteemed Washington, Alexandria, and Georgetown Railroad, this engineering marvel stretched an impressive total length of 5,104 feet. The photographer behind this remarkable image is A. J. Russell, a talented American artist who captured the essence of this iconic structure in July 1864. The albumen silver print technique used adds a timeless quality to the photograph, allowing us to transport ourselves back in time and experience the grandeur of this historic bridge. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, one cannot help but be awestruck by both its architectural beauty and significance for transportation at that time. The New Bridge over Potomac River served as a vital link between these prominent cities along its route. While we admire this stunning piece from Liszt Collection today, it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Instead, let us appreciate how such images provide valuable insights into our past and remind us of the incredible progress made in infrastructure development over centuries gone by.
