Széchényi Chain Bridge

Description
Panoramic photograph of Széchényi Chain Bridge, that joins Buda and Pest in Hungary by crossing the Danube River. In the center back of the photograph among the buildings of Pest, St. Stephen's Basilica looms above the skyline. Two sculpted lions on pedestals guard the entrance to the bridge.

Ships are parked along the far side of the river. Printed in the margin on the below left of the photograph, "4626. Budapest. Panorama von der k. Burg mit Kettenbrücke."
