The image, likely taken before 1867, shows the bridge from a distance, capturing a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The photograph, with its detailed depiction of the Roorkee Bridge, showcases Glover's talent for capturing the essence of India's architectural and natural beauty. The image's sharp details highlight the bridge's construction and its setting, offering a glimpse into the life and infrastructure of the region in the mid-19th century.
