A long suspension bridge over a broad river

Far across a broad river, a suspension bridge of great length stretches between two slender steel towers, its cables sagging in a long, flat curve; on the left bank rises a line of steep, wooded cliffs, and in the foreground lie piers and a sailing boat. The bridge appears to be the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson, opened in 1931, whose cables were made by the Roebling company.
