The Pere Marquette Railroad Bridge Sunrise Print

This bridge is an extremely rare and significant example of a Abt Bascule bridge, also sometimes referred to as an American Bridge bascule. The design was invented and patented by Hugo A. F. Abt who worked for the American Bridge Company Despite the significance of the Port Huron Railroad Bridge, and despite the small size of its footprint, this bridge is slated for demolition. The problem is that the bridge has been owned by private individuals (who apparently own the small area of empty land surrounding the bridge) following the abandonment of the bridge by the railroad company. By December, 2011, the owner of the bridge was the Port Huron Yacht Club. The leadership at the Port Huron Yacht Club appears to be uninterested in Port Huron's heritage and prosperity, since they currently plan to demolish this historic bridge. If you purchase the original, it is 13" X 19”, signed by the artist. The original is borderless, printed on Red River Arctic Polar Luster paper. Arctic Polar Luster features a deep luster finish which offers the perfect balance between deeply saturated color and minimized gloss reflectivity. If you use pigment inks, this is especially helpful and will greatly reduce gloss differential and bronzing.
