Charles River Embankment from Harvard Bridge (14410515831)
Bring a little Boston home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
After setting out water for a visit, there is a little time to look at the picture on the glass. The Charles embankment is seen from Harvard Bridge, giving the riverbank itself a place in the picture rather than making the crossing its sole subject.
A Boston Transit Commission photograph records the Charles River embankment from Harvard Bridge on October 5, 1910. Later park expansions and Storrow Drive changed this shoreline. The historical view preserves an earlier stage in that transformation, when engineering along the river was reshaping the city's relationship with its water.
The embankment connects the basin's engineering with later park expansion and road changes, keeping an earlier shoreline stage within Boston's riverfront story. Use it for water or a favorite drink, keeping the picture around the table.
