A white-railed wooden footbridge with a gentle arch spans the Concord River, framed by dense summer trees and reflected in the water below. The card names it as the Old North Bridge at Concord, Massachusetts, the crossing where colonial militia fired on British regulars on April 19, 1775, opening the Revolutionary War. The bridge shown is one of several later reconstructions of the original 18th-century span, which was dismantled in 1793; the site is now part of Minute Man National Historical Park.
Linen-textured stock with a thin white border; visible crosshatch weave in the sky and water.
