2016.021.001Description
Segment of scrapbook sheet holding two black and white photographs of the rebuilding of the South River bridge, one on each side of the sheet. The photograph on one side was taken on the bridge itself. A metal gate appears on the left side of the bridge and in the distance is a small group of people, two people riding bicycles, and a car. A typed label affixed underneath the photograph reads: "Rebuilding South River Bridge, South River, N.J., Aug. 21st, 1916". Two lines on the lower right side appear to be cracks on the negative that carried over to the photograph when it was printed.
The second photograph was taken across the construction site with the river visible in the bottom of the frame. Approximately eight men appear in different places on the photograph. A structure at the left of the frame has text reading: "2, General Contracting and Engineering Co., 29 Broadway, N.Y.". A typed label affixed underneath the photograph reads: "Rebuilding South River Bridge, South River, N.J., Aug. 21st, 1916".
The two photographs were taken from the South River end looking toward Sayreville. The long building in the background is a brick drying shed belonging to Sayre & Fisher.
Scrapbook sheet measures 7" X 8 3/4" at its widest point. The two photographs each measure 6 1/2" X 8 1/2". Both photographs are in good condition with minor warping, wear, and one small tear on the upper left corner of the second photograph. Edges of scrapbook page shows tearing.Photograph Details
