亞歷山三世橋（巴里萬國大博覽會）
Pont Alexandre III (Paris Universal Exposition)
Beyond a stone bridge sweeping in a great arc, buildings with pointed towers and ornate roofs stand in a long row.
About this photo
In the left foreground, a row of round, lamp-like ornaments sits along the bridge's parapet. A little farther out, the stone bridge curves in a great arc from the bottom center toward the right, the space beneath its arch lost in black shadow. Beyond it, ornate buildings continue, and above them spreads a pale sky.
The album's caption takes note of how splendid the bridge's decorations were. There were 28 lamp stands along the parapets on both sides, it says; the four large ones at the ends each carried five glass lamps of different sizes, and every one was made of bronze. The bridge spans the Seine near Les Invalides in Paris and is said to have been completed in 1900, though we have found nothing firm to back that up.
Right of center, a tall column topped with a statue reaches about two-thirds of the way up the photo.
