This image is a photograph of a blueprint. The blueprint is presented in a format where white lines and text are set against a dark background, which is characteristic of a negative image of a blueprint. It appears to be a detailed technical drawing or plan of a system of waterways or canals, perhaps for navigation or drainage purposes.
On the blueprint, there are labels such as "MAIN," "RIVER," and "CANAL," which suggest the features drawn are related to water infrastructure. Different sections are labeled as "SECTION 1," "SECTION 2," and "SECTION 3." The words "SCHUYLKILL NAVIGATION COMPANY'S CANAL" are clearly visible, indicating that this blueprint is related to the Schuylkill Navigation Company, possibly detailing parts of a canal system under their purview or plans for construction or modification.
Additional labels and notations on the blueprint likely provide specific instructions, dimensions, or other technical details necessary for understanding or building the features displayed. There is text at the bottom right corner, but it's not readable in this image. There are some handwritten notes such as "INCREASING CLEARANGE" and other partially legible comments suggesting modifications or specifications.
This type of blueprint would be used by engineers, architects, or city planners for the design, maintenance, and operation of waterway systems. The framing of the picture indicates that the blueprint photograph is mounted for display or preservation.

The image is a detailed architectural or engineering blueprint or plan labeled "Bridges No. 1, 2 & 3 Over Branch of Reading Co. Near East Main St., Norristown, PA." It consists of three sections or views.
- The top portion, labeled "Section 1," shows a map with various streets, buildings, and infrastructure, including the Schuylkill River and Main Street. Specific buildings and structures like the Freight House, Reading Company Shops, and other named buildings are indicated, with notes on measurements and other details.
- The middle portion, labeled "Section 2," provides a similar view with different segments of the area, including elements that appear to relate to railway lines and adjacent buildings. Streets such as Markley Street, and other infrastructure elements like the Schuylkill Navigation Company's Canal, are noted.
- The bottom section shows further divided details, labeled "Section 3," with the River, Canal, and Main Street running horizontally across with other infrastructural details.
The title block or legend is located at the bottom right and contains various notes, a scale (1"=40'), and names of the responsible engineers or company offices, indicating it's prepared by the company's engineering department.
The blueprint is framed in black and white, printed in white ink on a dark background, typical of blueprints from the early 20th century.
