EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1898, showcases the breathtaking construction progress of the High Bridge and Washington Bridge in New York City, USA. The image transports us back to the 1890s, an era of remarkable engineering feats and urban development in America. The High Bridge, located on the left side of the image, is the oldest stone arch bridge in the city. Its elegant design, featuring graceful arches and a towering central tower, stands proudly over the Harlem River. The bridge's construction began in 1841, and its completion in 1848 marked a significant milestone in the city's infrastructure. On the right side of the photograph, the Washington Bridge, also known as the Washington Bridge and Broadway Bridge, is undergoing construction. The bridge's distinctive twin towers, each adorned with a large American flag, can be seen rising from the riverside. The Washington Bridge, completed in 1895, was the first steel suspension bridge in New York City and revolutionized transportation between Manhattan and the Bronx. The photograph's composition offers a unique perspective, with a clear view of the bridges' construction sites and the bustling riverside activity. The pathway along the riverbank, dotted with people and horse-drawn carriages, adds a sense of scale and liveliness to the scene. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the people who built these iconic structures, shaping the New York City skyline and connecting its communities.
