High Bridge, New York City

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has in its collection the image of the High Bridge above as part of its collection.  The image itself is a view from the south side in the Bronx (from the grand stairway) looking toward Manhattan.  You can see the Water Tower and the smoke stack for the pumping station at the end of the bridge on the Manhattan side.

It is from the Bridges series (N102) to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco manufactured by W. Duke Sons & Co.
