Railway Bridge over the Lek at Kuilenburg (Culemborg) Possibly 1868

This black and white photograph, created in 1868 by Johann Heinrich Schönscheidt, captures the intricate structure of a railway bridge over the Lek river in Kuilenburg, Netherlands. The image showcases the bridge's intricate latticework, its wooden planks, and the silhouettes of people walking on the bridge. The view from the center of the bridge, looking toward the opposite end, highlights the bridge's elegant design and its role in the development of the railway network. Schönscheidt's photographs of industrial structures and landscapes are valuable historical documents of a rapidly changing world.
