The image is a black and white photograph of a railway bridge over a river. The bridge is made of steel and appears to be in the early 20th century. It is a long, arched structure with multiple levels and spans over the river. On the left side of the image, there is a hill with trees and shrubs on the right side. In the background, there are hills and a clear sky. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking up at the bridge and the river below. The text on the image reads "Eine der ersten von den Französen gesprengen Eisenbahnbrücken der Linie Thiaucourt-Toul, auf dem Vormarsch nach der Schlacht bei Metz (August 1914)".
