Determining the Date of This Photo of the Cabin John Bridge

Cabin John Bridge
We found an image of the Cabin John Bridge from 1852 at the Library of Congress. But is this the true date of the photo? We investigate the historical records to determine the date and share our findings.

Can anyone help date this image? We found it at the Library of Congress. It says it was done in 1852, though if I’m not mistaken, the bridge wasn’t completed until the 1860s.
