No. 199. Draw Span of Chicago & North Western Rail Road Bridge at Clinton, Iowa, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating cyanotype print by Henry Bosse that takes us back to the late 19th century in America. The photograph showcases an oval-shaped railway bridge spanning across the mighty Mississippi River in Clinton, Iowa. The monochrome tones of blue create a serene atmosphere, emphasizing the grandeur and significance of this engineering marvel. The swing bridge's draw span is captured mid-action, allowing river traffic to pass through while maintaining seamless rail transportation. Bosse's attention to detail highlights the intricate structure of the bridge against the vastness of its surroundings. This historical landmark played a vital role in connecting communities and facilitating trade during that era. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in American history. It serves as a reminder of how transportation and infrastructure have shaped our country's growth and development. The image not only captures the beauty and functionality of this architectural wonder but also pays homage to Bosse's artistic vision and technical skill as a photographer. Through his lens, he immortalizes an important geographical feature that has become an integral part of America's landscape. This photograph stands as a testament to our nation's progress while honoring those who contributed their expertise towards building such remarkable structures like No. 199 - bridging gaps both physically and metaphorically within our great United States.
