1. Title: "A Feat of Engineering in Formosa: Suspension Bridge at Kappanzan, circa 1909" This postcard image showcases the Suspension Bridge at Kappanzan in Taiwan (then known as Formosa) during the Japanese occupation following the First Sino-Japanese War. Dating back to approximately 1909, this historical photograph offers a glimpse into the island's transportation history. The bridge, with its delicate and intricate design, spans the river with an air of grace and resilience. The flimsy appearance of the suspension cables, hanging precariously over the water, contrasts sharply with the rugged terrain and lush greenery that surrounds it. The Formosan people, dressed in traditional clothing, can be seen in the foreground, adding a human element to the scene. The Japanese occupation brought about significant changes to Taiwan's infrastructure, with the construction of numerous suspension bridges being a testament to their engineering prowess. This particular bridge at Kappanzan, with its delicate yet robust design, exemplifies the ingenuity and determination of the occupying forces to connect the island's diverse regions. The Suspension Bridge at Kappanzan stands as a historical landmark, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that transpired during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan. This postcard image, with its intricate details and captivating composition, offers a unique perspective into a bygone era, inviting us to explore the stories and memories that lie within.
