Hartford Bridge 1885

"Hartford Bridge" is an etching by American architect and artist Charles A. Platt, created in 1885. The print depicts a covered bridge spanning a river, with a town and a church in the background. Platt's use of subtle shading and detail creates a realistic and evocative scene of a small-town landscape. The artwork's focus on the bridge and its surrounding architecture is characteristic of Platt's work, which often featured picturesque landscapes and structures. This etching, like many of his prints, showcases Platt's talent for capturing the beauty and charm of everyday life.
