Plate 8. Dale Creek Bridge, from Above

Andrew Joseph Russell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a valley with a group of people and structures. There is a wooden trestle bridge dominating the horizon. On the left, rocky terrain with boulders and sparse trees is visible. Near us, individuals are near a campsite with a lit lamp and wagons, one with a horse. The ground is cluttered with materials and vegetation leading to a less detailed background. The image has a monochromatic color palette, appearing like a historical photograph in sepia tone.
