A metal truss bridge spans a shallow stream, with a dirt road curving past the approach. Three men stand near the bridge and a small child in white stands on the road; open fields, a rail fence, and wooded hills rise behind them. Truss bridges of this kind carried rural roads over creeks and rivers across the United States in the early 1900s, often assembled from standardized iron or steel parts.
White border around the image; real photo print with slight surface wear and light scratches; no printed text on front.
No postmark. Divided-back real-photo postcard with Velox stamp box (diamond corner marks); white border on front. Handwritten dealer notation "RMLJ #5-" at top edge. Light soiling/toning on card stock.
