Postcard, ca. 1950
Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, PA

Panorama View of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Taken from a vantage point, where one can get a bird's eye view
of the city's Golden Triangle and miles of surrounding territory.
This remarkable photograph shows the Allegheny and Monongahela
Rivers flowing together at the historic point to form the Ohio.
The three navigatable rivers, which connect the 12,000 miles 
Mississippi water way system carry more freight tonnage than 
either the Panama or Suez Canals.
