Bridge Street, intermediate pier, ca. 1896 [Detail]
Detail taken from another photo in this series of several men standing in different places on the Bridge Street pier near Frankford Creek, ca. 1896.
It seems reasonable to assume that some of the men in this picture are workers and others – likely the ones wearing suits – are either foremen or passersby. The tall figure in the back right has a face youthful enough to suggest that he may well have been a student. The wider version of this photo can be found here.
