Description

Black and white negative of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge under construction. The view is from under the cables looking at the eastern anchorage. There is dirt or grass in the foreground, and above are cables and catwalks descending to the ground. In the middle background is a timber structure and the booms of a crane. There is a white border on all sides, and in the bottom border is "#2012 1/2040". The negative is inserted, along with a print of the image, into a cream colored envelope that has typed "January 20, 1940 Narrows Bridge at Tacoma Eastern anchorage from the same point but in the opposite direction used in #2011". Stamped is "2012" and "indexed".
