Washington Bridge, New York 1939

"Washington Bridge, New York" is a 1939 black and white photograph by Herman Anne Marie Cato Dibbits, depicting the underside of the George Washington Bridge. The image shows a stark, industrial scene, with the bridge's massive steel structure dominating the composition. The viewpoint from beneath the bridge creates a sense of scale and emphasizes the intricate network of beams and girders. The small boat in the foreground adds a sense of human presence, while the hazy background suggests the vastness of the surrounding cityscape. The photograph is a testament to Dibbits' skill in capturing the raw beauty of modern architecture.
