King Iron Bridge Company Scrapbook, 1892
Collection
Identifier: SC MS 0206
Abstract
This scrapbook is an interesting contrast of nineteenth
century ephemera – albumen photographs and chromolithographic trade cards and calling/visiting cards. The
photographs present the metal truss design of bridges built by the King Iron Bridge Company in various places
in the 1880s. The trade cards promoting patent medicines and perfume and the calling cards display the

Era...

Photograph of Harlem Bridge over Harlem River at Fourth Avenue, New York, Circa 1867-1871
Item
Identifier: SC photo-0021
Abstract
John Reid, the acknowledged photographer of this picture, was in his lifetime known as a pioneer photographer of the “Iron Horse” (steam locomotives). He introduced the convention of taking the photographs “from a position just ahead of the smoke box” in the late 1850s. This angle is apparent in this photograph as the 4-4-0 steam locomotive positioned on the Harlem Bridge. The bridge is an example of a Post box-truss type developed by Simeon S. Post in 1863. Based on information printed...
