Texto del museo
A bridge spanning the Rocky River to the west of Cleveland was built and rebuilt many times since its original construction in 1819. This image depicts the 1910 bridge, which was the longest stretch of unreinforced concrete in the world at the time. The area was a popular boating spot: Peets depicted a boatyard with “Launches for Sale” below the bridge. The small rowboats of Rocky River differ significantly from the images that Peets and other Cleveland artists made of the Cuyahoga, which often featured large steamboats and barges. A painting by Peets featuring the Cuyahoga River was hung in the Salon des Artistes Français of 1913.
