All of these images are scans of various portions of the same stereoview card. This location in Geneva is better known for the larger V-shaped bridge seen at the right of the first image. If you look closely (scroll down to the three crops at the end of this page) you will see this is an "underspanned" suspension bridge where the deck rests on iron chains. This was the first large underspanned suspension bridge constructed. The Bridgemeister inventory includes the smaller footbridge extending to the left from the round central structure, but not the underspanned bridge.
