Original 1947 AP Wire Photo showing the Manhattan Bridge approach in New York City during a major snow emergency. The caption, printed directly on the photo, explains that only essential vehicles were permitted on the bridge after Police Commissioner Wallander barred non-essential traffic following a record snowfall. The photo measures approximately 7⅜ x 5¼ inches. There is period handwriting on the reverse, and tape remains on all four corners from prior display or newsroom use. Light age-related wear consistent with use in a newspaper archive. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
