Scenes on the Wissahickon Creek (Picturesque America)

A triptych of Wissahickon scenes - the mouth of the Wissahickon, the Old Log Cabin Bridge, and Wissahickon Falls, looking rather different without the Henry Avenue Bridge looming overhead - taken from Picturesque America.

The Henry Avenue Bridge, or Wissahickon Memorial Bridge (so renamed in honor of residents of Northwest Philadelphia who served in World War I) was completed and dedicated in May 1932, some sixty years after the etchings in Picturesque America were created.
