EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this postcard image of Detroit, Michigan's iconic Bridge to Belle Isle, dating back to 1907. This photograph transports us to an era of American history when the city was at the forefront of industrial innovation. The bridge, a marvel of engineering in its time, connects the mainland of Detroit to Belle Isle, an idyllic island retreat in the heart of the Detroit River. The Bridge to Belle Isle, also known as the MacArthur Bridge, was the first bridge to span the Detroit River between Michigan and Ontario, Canada. Designed by the renowned bridge engineer, Leon M. Bouvier, and constructed between 1906 and 1907, it was an engineering feat that showcased Detroit's commitment to progress and connectivity. The photograph captures the bridge in its early days, with the graceful arches of the suspension bridge standing proud against the backdrop of the Detroit skyline. The island of Belle Isle, with its lush greenery and picturesque landscapes, is visible in the distance, beckoning visitors to explore its natural beauty. The postcard, with its intricate border design and the message "Post Card, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A." embossed at the bottom, is a testament to the souvenir culture that flourished during the early 1900s. This collectible piece offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the experiences of travelers who once marveled at this engineering wonder and the allure of Belle Isle.
