Few river crossings in the Midwest drew as much attention as the suspension bridge linking Cincinnati with Covington, Kentucky, which this stereograph records. Designed by John A. Roebling and opened in 1866, it was then the longest suspension span in the world, and its wire-cable construction served as a proving ground for the methods Roebling later used on the Brooklyn Bridge. Stereo cards like this one let viewers of the period see the span in apparent three dimensions, a popular parlor pastime that brought distant landmarks into the home.
