Chicago has long been hailed as the drawbridge capital of the world, and this image perfectly captures why. No other city has experimented with such an array of drawbridge designs as Chicago did during this era. These engineering marvels not only facilitated transportation but also became integral parts of the city's identity. The photograph, taken by Fred G. Korth, beautifully encapsulates both the grandeur and grittiness that defined Chicago at that time. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to this snapshot in history, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Korth's lens.
