Harrisburg, Rockville Bridge (Pennsylvania, USA)
Unused linen Curteich-Chicago card 5A-H2156. Calling this the “longest stone arch bridge in the world,” Wikipedia generally agrees that this is still the case, now qualifying it as “longest stone masonry arch railroad viaduct in the world”. Close enough. Grade: 1

Sarajevo, Princip Bridge (Yugoslavia)
Apart from all the other past and recent historical associations of Sarajevo, we thought we would look up the bridge. Wikipedia told us this: “Latin Bridge (Serbo-Croatian: Latinska ćuprija/Латинска ћуприја, named Principov most/Принципов мост – “Princip’s Bridge” in Yugoslav era), is an Ottoman bridge over the river Miljacka in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The northern end of the bridge was the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Gavrilo Princip in 1914, which became casus belli of World War I.” As for the card, it was mailed in 1970 with two different stamps, mostly readable postmark, and staining along the upper reverse edge. Grade: 3

Newport News – James River Bridge (Virginia, USA)
In 1951, Myrtle mailed this card to enter a TV contest. Stamp and postmark are there, but no indication whether she won or not. Probably not, as her slogan was a bit gloomy. Postmark transfer on the front. Grade: 3

Nagasaki, Megane Bridge (Japan)
Just because we think it’s interesting, we tell you this story about the bridge, abridged (!) from Wikipedia: “Meganebashi (眼鏡橋^?) or Spectacles Bridge, over the Nakashima River (中島川) was built in 1634 by the Japanese monk Mokusu … It is said to be the oldest stone arch bridge in Japan and has been designated as an Important Cultural Property. It received the nickname “Spectacles Bridge” because its two arches and their reflection in the water create the image of a pair of spectacles. On July 23, 1982, a deluge washed away six of the ten stone bridges over the Nakashima River. Meganebashi was badly damaged but almost all the original stones were retrieved and the bridge was restored to its original appearance.” Unused card. Grade: 1

Chicago, Scene in Lincoln Park (Illinois, USA)
We might observe that the value of this card is in the message. In 1908, Nora posted this to Pearl (stamp and full postmark), observing what a good time she was having but how much she hated Chicago. We wonder what she would think of it now … clearly the back of the card did not give her enough room to express herself. Grade: 3

Wikipedia tells us this: “San Juanico Bridge is part of the Pan-Philippine Highway and stretches from Samar to Leyte across the San Juanico Strait. Its longest length is a steel girder viaduct built on reinforced concrete piers, and its main span is of an arch-shaped truss design. With a total length of 2.16 kilometers (1.34 mi), it is the longest bridge in the Philippines spanning a body of seawater. The bridge was dedicated to Ferdinand Marcos’ wife, Imelda Marcos. The bridge was slightly damaged by Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013 but repaired.” Unused, somewhat aging card from 2001. Grade: 2
