Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 7 -The Wissahickon Page 41 contains a photograph with a typed caption that reads: "On Springfield Avenue Bridge, 1905. (Charles Brooker on bridge)."

The stone wall extends the width of the photograph and is capped with stones placed in an "upright" position. A large stone plaque is placed to the right of the man at the base of the wall. Any inscription on the plaque is impossible to read. Beyond the bridge wall, a canopy of trees predominates the photograph.
