EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Kintai Bridge over the Nishiki River in Iwakuni, Japan, taken in 1904. The bridge, with its five magnificent wooden arches, was originally constructed in 1673 and has become a symbol of architectural beauty and resilience. The image captures the view looking northwards, revealing the stunning craftsmanship of this seventeenth-century masterpiece. A male figure can be seen on a cart crossing the bridge, adding a sense of scale to the grandeur of the structure. The tranquil river flows beneath it, reflecting both its elegance and strength. The photograph not only highlights the physical features but also provides glimpses into Japanese culture at that time. It offers us a glimpse into daily life as we observe people going about their activities along the riverbank. Underwood & Underwood's expertise is evident in this stereoscopic card which brings depth to an already breathtaking scene. Their attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate every aspect of this historical landmark. Although faced with adversity when destroyed by flooding from a typhoon in 1950, Kintai Bridge stands as a testament to human ingenuity as it was rebuilt to preserve its original charm for future generations. This remarkable print transports us back in time while reminding us of Japan's rich history and enduring spirit.
