EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Williamsbridge to Gun Hill Road, Bronx, New York, c1920" by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the past of the Bronx in New York City during the early 20th century. The image showcases the Bronx River and the elevated railway bridge that spans over it, connecting Williamsbridge and Gun Hill Road. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer, captured this scene with exceptional detail and artistry. The photograph is a testament to the regionalism movement of the time, which celebrated the unique character and beauty of America's diverse landscapes. The image reveals a rural and rustic charm, with the Bronx River flowing gently beneath the bridge, surrounded by lush greenery and trees. The elevated railway bridge, a marvel of transportation technology during the era, stands tall and proud, connecting the two ends of the road. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the transportation infrastructure and the natural beauty of the Bronx during the 1900s. It also showcases the transformation of the area from a rural landscape to an urbanized one, as the Bronx began to develop and grow. This photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, and is a reminder of the rich heritage and history that continues to shape the United States. The image invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the beauty of our natural and man-made environments, and consider the impact of transportation on our communities.
