EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white image captures the Michigan Central Cantilever Bridge, a marvel of engineering from the late 19th century. The bridge, located between Detroit, Michigan, USA, and Windsor, Ontario, Canada, spans the Niagara River and connects the two countries. The bridge was built between 1880 and 1897, during a time when railways were revolutionizing transportation. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer William H. Jackson, showcases the bridge in all its glory. The cantilever design, a groundbreaking innovation for the time, is evident in the graceful curve of the bridge's arms as they reach out towards each other, meeting at the center to create a sturdy connection. The scene is set against the backdrop of the natural beauty of the Niagara River, with its powerful currents and lush greenery. The glass negative, taken by Jackson using a dry plate process, captures every detail of the bridge, from the intricate ironwork to the textures of the plants and rocks. The Michigan Central Cantilever Bridge was a vital link between the two countries, enabling the movement of people and goods across the border. It was also a symbol of the ingenuity and progress of the time, and remains an important part of both American and Canadian history. This photograph, taken by William H. Jackson, is a testament to the beauty and significance of this historic bridge. It is a reminder of the past, and a reminder of the power of human innovation to shape the world around us.
