EDITORS COMMENTS
High Bridge over Mississippi River, Clinton, Iowa, USA. February 18, 1908. This evocative photograph captures the majesty and grandeur of the High Bridge, spanning the mighty Mississippi River in Clinton, Iowa, USA, during the early 1900s. The High Bridge, built in 1872, was a marvel of engineering at the time, standing at a height of 180 feet and boasting a total length of 2,260 feet. The image, taken on February 18, 1908, showcases the bridge in all its glory, with the icy Mississippi River flowing calmly below, its surface dotted with small ice floes. The bridge's intricate ironwork and towering piers are clearly visible, as are the horse-drawn carriages and wagons making their way across the bridge, connecting the two banks of the river. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel across the Mississippi River was an adventure, and the simple act of crossing a bridge was a significant event. The High Bridge was a vital link in the transportation network of the United States, connecting the Midwest to the Eastern Seaboard, and facilitating the movement of goods and people. The image also serves as a reminder of the beauty and power of nature, with the Mississippi River, a natural wonder in its own right, providing a stunning backdrop to the bridge. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the American landscape and the rich history of the United States.
