Charles River Embankment from Harvard Bridge (14410515831)
Bring a little Boston home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
Set down the pen and take a moment to look up from the desk. 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. For a gift, the included stand gives this view a place on a desk without arranging space on the wall.
