View of Tripoli showing the New Bridge, Ottoman Empire (now in Lebanon)

1859-1860

- Suzanne K. Williamson indentifies the bridge in this photograph as the Jisral-Jadid Bridge (Oct. 1986). It is identified in the title as the "New Bridge" based on the imprinted title "TRIPOLI / VUE DU PONT NEUF". Further research should include verification of this information and identification of the source(s) from which it was obtained.
