A black and white panoramic photographic print (glossy, on thick card), featuring a shot of a wire and wood bridge across a river, with slopes and trees in the background. In the right-foreground is the near-side of the bridge and a small sliver of the camera's side of the right bank. The bridge extends across the river in the midground, meets with a small wooden structure resting on the river bank, and then extends to the slightly raised area of ground beyond that. The far bank of the river is a mix of sand/dirt/rocks and grass, with a dirt path visible travelling under the bridge (between the wooded instruction and the raised ground). On the flat of the raised ground of the far bank, a number of vehicles are visible. These appear to be either Model T's or similar-style vehicles, corroborating the potential 1929 date. To the right along the far bank is a cluster of trees, with some more in the background beyond the bridge to the left of the image. In the bottom-right corner of the print is the handwritten note (written onto the negative) reading "G.R.P. No14; JULY 29 OLIVER". On the reverse of the image is handwritten "6 3/8 / 6 3/8" or "131816318"Collection
