The central focus is an elegant, high-arched pedestrian footbridge constructed in 1887, featuring an intricate lattice guardrail. This graceful iron structure allowed residents to cross the busy waterway while maintaining clearance for boat traffic. Just beneath it, a functional swing bridge and a railway bridge are also visible, showcasing the dense layering of 19th-century transportation infrastructure in this historic canal town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Divided Back (Circa 1905-1908)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Toul\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Meurthe-et-Moselle\u003cbr\u003eCountry: France\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Canal Bridges, Iron Footbridges, Industrial Engineering, Waterway Infrastructure\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: None\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: Divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Unknown\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Prathernon, editeur, Toul\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Unknown\u003cbr\u003ePrint Type: Collotype on green buff\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe footbridge featured on this card was a landmark of the Saint-Mansuy neighborhood for decades. Built in 1887 to facilitate pedestrian movement over the canal, the bridge was eventually demolished in 1931. This specific view, numbered s-964 in the Environs de Toul Illustre series, is a rare photographic record of the bridge before its removal. Bridge enthusiasts will appreciate the juxtaposition of the lightweight arched pedestrian design with the functional swing and rail bridges nearby. The reverse side contains a brief pencil inscription in English that reads, \"Toul nice place.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"-","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46726995542205,"sku":"2848","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/2848.jpg?v=1777611089","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/2848","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
