| Title on Object | Soochow Creek - Garden Bridge |
| Notes | Hand tinted image. An outdoor candid portrait of a Soochow Creek (Wusong Jiang) filled with boats transporting lumber. All the boats appear to be made of wood and are of various sizes and designs. People are seen on the boats operating long oars. On the left side of the image is a tall cement wall lined with railing. Wooden utility poles and pedestrians walking can be seen in front of tall buildings. In the background people travel over a steel bridge identified as the Garden Bridge, which spans the creek. Known as the Garden Bridge in English, the bridge remains an important transportation channel in metropolitan Shanghai. A British company built the bridge nearly a century ago in 1907. Today in China few people know the English name of the bridge but it is well known by its native name: Waibadu Qiao. |
