Pont de Saint-Sauveur 1862 - 1876

"Pont de Saint-Sauveur" is a stereoscopic photograph by French photographer Jean Andrieu, created between 1862 and 1876. The image depicts a bridge spanning a valley, showcasing the developing infrastructure of the era. The use of stereoscopic photography, which creates a three-dimensional effect, enhances the viewer's sense of the bridge's scale and its impressive setting. The photograph was likely intended for a general audience, providing a glimpse into the progress of engineering and transportation in the mid-19th century. Andrieu's work is notable for its detailed rendering of the bridge's structure and its surrounding environment.
