The Point Bridge, circa 1900. This bridge spanned the Monongahela River immediately upstream of the confluence with the Allegheny River, of course forming the Ohio. This view is southwest showing Mount Washington on the other side of the river.

This image will be a print in the coming exhibit of historic images of Pittsburgh. The images are from several sources, this one from the Library of Congress. The photographer is unknown but the LOC attribution is The Detriot Collection. The original was an 8 x 10 glass plate negative, dry plate. All prints will be archival pigment prints on 100% cotton rag paper.

Arrangements for the receptions are being handled by Sasha Williams. I am curating, processing the files, and making the exhibition prints. Matting, framing, and the venue for the exhibit will be Shaw Galleries, 805 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh. The show will be up from Tuesday, April 1, through Friday, April 25, 2014. The opening reception is Friday, April 4, and the closing reception is Friday April 25 during the Pittsburgh Gallery Crawl. I hope to see you there!
