About:
The Pont du Carrousel is a bridge located in Paris and crosses the Seine between the Quai des Tuileries and the Quai Voltaire.
Generally called the "Carrousel Bridge," it was also called the "Saints-Pères Bridge" because its axis almost extended that of the rue des Saints-Pères. It was also sometimes called The "Louvre Bridge," since it came out opposite the Louvre palace, on the right bank.
A royal ordinance dated October 11, 1831, authorized the bridge's construction.
The designer, Antoine-Rémy Polonceau, demonstrated a great sense of innovation, he designed an arched bridge when the trend was for suspension bridges. The complex cast iron and wood structure is also very daring.
Thus, the iron circles that decorate the metal structure are ironically called "napkin rings." Sculptures by Louis Petitot are standing at each corner of the bridge (still in place on the current bridge.) They represent Abundance, Industry, the Seine, and the City of Paris. They date from 1845.
In 1883, the bridge was closed to traffic for six months to replace part of the beams and sleepers. The technicians who make this change advise changing the wooden parts of the deck to hammered iron. This change was done in 1906 the deck's wood was replaced by iron. Despite this repair, the bridge is narrow and moves dangerously.
In 1930, it was also judged to be of insufficient height for river navigation, and it was decided to destroy the bridge and replace it with a new structure. The bridge was deconstructed in 1937.
The rebuilt bridge had the same overall shape as the original bridge, with three arches, but was made of reinforced concrete.

A photograph that attests to Suschitzky's keen interest in the social environments of the working class. His worked as a cinematographer brought him to Britain’s coal mining communities, to the steel mills and the workers' housing. "In Dundee I came across the worst slums I had ever seen.
