Looking across the Delaware River at Port Jervis, New York, this picture shows a bridge that links the town to the Pennsylvania shore. The print was issued by Dr. S.S. Baldwin of Port Jervis, who copyrighted it and numbered it 2046, and it belongs to the Wittemann Collection. The caption card gives no date, so the exact year is unknown. Local photoprints like this one were widely sold in the late 1800s and early 1900s to travelers and mail buyers who wanted views of small river towns. Its catalog tracings, Geography and Bridges, point to the crossing itself as the subject.
