The Bridge at St Louis, c. 1874 - A Marvel of Engineering and Progress

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolithograph captures the grandeur and significance of the iconic Bridge at St Louis, a true testament to human ingenuity and progress in the late 19th century. Built between 1867 and 1874 over the mighty Mississippi River, it held the distinction of being the longest bridge in the world at that time.
