This 1937 postcard presents a stunning aerial view of the rivers converging at High Bridge, Kentucky, where the Kentucky and Dix Rivers meet in a deep, forested gorge. Towering above this dramatic landscape is the historic High Bridge, an iron and steel masterpiece first completed in 1877 and later rebuilt to support the increasing demands of rail travel. At the time of its original construction, it was the tallest railroad bridge in the world—a feat of engineering that brought national attention to the quiet beauty of the Kentucky River Palisades. The scene below is peaceful and powerful, where natural forces and human ingenuity meet in harmony.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
