Hobart Then and Now: Pennsy Bridge over Deep River

I don't have a date for the "then" view, since the postcard is unused, and I'm hard put to even guess, since there's no photographer's name and no identifiable fashions. I can say only that the postcard was printed after February 1907.

The photographer seems to have caught another photographer, at right near the tracks, who appears to be using a tripod-plus-black-cloth apparatus, which might be informative to someone who knows more than I do about historical cameras.
