Suspended above the ancient sandstone gorge of Ausable Chasm in New York's Adirondack region, the "New State Highway Bridge" arches gracefully over the rushing Ausable River below — lush evergreens crowding the canyon walls, a blush of autumn foliage warming the lower rocks, and the blocky Art Deco approach structure anchoring the far abutment in this vivid linen-era card printed by C.T. American Art Colored for C.W. Hughes & Co. of Mechanicville, N.Y. The small promotional sign reading "Ausable Chasm" is affixed at mid-span, a charming period detail of roadside-attraction marketing. Known as the "Grand Canyon of the Adirondacks," Ausable Chasm has been a tourist destination since 1870, and linen-era cards from this subject enjoy steady collector demand among both New York state and bridge topical collectors.
