Steel lattice soars overhead in a dizzying corridor of riveted iron as you stand mid-span on the Waco bridge across the Brazos River — a rare interior-perspective view that captures the raw industrial ambition of early-twentieth-century Texas infrastructure. Published by McLaughlin Duke and sold at nickel stores, this colorized pre-linen card dates to June 13, 1911, and shows the bridge's ornate cast-iron portal bracing, a lone globe street lamp dangling from the apex, twin streetcar tracks running down the plank deck, and — just visible at the far end — a water tower and the stone pylon of an adjacent suspension bridge. The card was sent from Waco by a young woman named Flo to her little brother Frank in Cameron, Texas, urging him to come visit so they could ride the streetcars together: "Sure wish you could be with us and ride on the street cars. You would have a big time and see a lot. Come to see me Sunday." The bridge depicted is the Washington Avenue Bridge area; Waco's 1870 Suspension Bridge stands at right edge, already a landmark. A charming slice of sibling affection and Gilded-Age Texas civic pride.
