Title
Covered Bridge. Franklin, New Hampshire. "Covered bridge Franklin, New Hampshire. August 1929"
Photographer
Likely, Mark Jefferson
Description
Photograph of a covered bridge located in Franklin, New Hampshire. It is noted the picture was taken in August of 1929. Signs on the bridge read, "Warning: Persons driving horses across this bridge faster than a walk are liable to a fine of five dollars. City of Franklin," and, "Notice: Vehicle and load limit - 4 tons. Speed limit 10 ml per hour. City of Franklin." The covered bridge has a main tunnel for cars and horses but also has a secondary walkway to the left for pedestrians. Power Lines attach to the front of the bridge and steel girders can be seen on the side of the bridge, offering support underneath. Jefferson would often use the same negative to create a lantern slide as well as a mounted stereographic card. When possible we have indicated if it is a repeat image, however this is not always the case. As such, there may be a corresponding digitized glass lantern slide, and a mounted stereographic card associated with this stereographic negative within the Mark Jefferson Collection.
