EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1898, showcases the Rock River Bridge near Nelson, Illinois. The bridge, a vital structure of the Chicago & North Western Railway (CNW), stretches gracefully over the meandering Rock River. The image, captured using a dry plate negative process, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the late 19th century in the United States. The serene landscape is dotted with lush greenery and farmlands, reflecting the rural charm of the region. The bridge, with its intricate ironwork and sturdy pillars, stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. The reflection of the bridge on the calm waters of the Rock River adds to the picture's visual appeal, creating a mirror image that enhances the overall composition. The location of this bridge in Lee County, Illinois, places it in the heart of the Midwest, a region that was rapidly developing during this period. The CNW Railway played a significant role in connecting various towns and cities, making transportation more accessible and efficient. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable piece of heritage art that documents a moment in history, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of transportation in America.
