Artist, British, born United States, 1882 - 1966

The image depicts a bridge spanning a wide river, as seen from a high vantage point. A cityscape with clustered buildings serves as a backdrop against the sky. The bridge is classic in style and appears crowded with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians. The image has a soft, somewhat blurred texture and a monochromatic color palette of varying shades of gray consistent with early photography.
