1894réf. 2210077Consisting of 50 pressed card pieces of 52 lacking two small tie pieces and a few finials now broken away together with a small strip of pegs and a printed line drawing of the bridge and brief yet adequate instructions ; contained in the original box 25 x 35 x 1.5 cm the lid with a large decorative title label of the completed bridge with various boats milling around the 'Port of London'. An unusual and perhaps unique example of an embossed card construction toy marketed to coincide with the opening of the then new Tower Bridge. The new bridge was considered something of an eighth wonder the engineering combining a bascule operated drawbridge together with a suspension bridge all disguised under an elaborate gothic exterior that was supposed to blend in with but actually dwarfs the Tower of London. Not the easiest design to translate into a construction kit but the anonymous makers evidently used the plans and elevations of the design as shown in contemporary engineering journals. Some modifications have had to be made in order to produce a toy that balanced the decorative gothic features and engineering accuracy into practical design. The expectation would be that once the model was built it would after a decent time be thrown away however the owner of this example has carefully disassemble the bridge and preserved it with the original box. When constructed the toy bridge measures 127 cm or 4 feet long and 29 cm or just under a foot in height. We have not met with any other example.
1831réf. 177610London: J. Catnach printer 1831. Pomp and ceremony at the new London Bridge First edition of this rare broadside celebrating the opening of the new London Bridge and the Royal flotilla that passed underneath. The illustration captures the scene: there are waving crowds and flags flying a hot-air balloon is in the air and there are many barges including at the centre the barge with the royal couple. The text gives an account of the arrangements followed by two songs: "the landing of royal William and Adelaide at London Bridge" and "New London Bridge and King William for ever". The bridge constructed from 1824 to 1831 replaced the medieval structure. It was famously sold in 1968 and rebuilt in Lake Havasu Arizona. We trace three copies in institutions: National Library of Scotland the V&A Museum and the Science Museum in London. Illustrated broadside 495 x 372 mm text in 4 columns within woodcut fern border. Mounted on Japanese tissue slight wear at extremities and a few creases and tiny chips with minor loss a little toned and spotted. In good condition. unknown
1865réf. 32820652Albumen print 8 ⅛ x 10 ⅜ in. unmounted. Some creasing minor toning and a very short closed tear at top. Framed. This rare photograph shows two parallel pontoon bridges stretching across the James River at Richmond Virginia near war's end. The Army Corps of Engineers constructed these bridges after retreating Confederate forces burned the bridges in 1865. The Dunlop Mills are seen on the other side of the river. We have located only the example at the National Archives which provides the identification for this view.

1882réf. 22094Unknown place: Not Published 1882. Contemporary three-quarter leather. Very good; front cover detached; spine worn; card stock pages a bit warped. Folio. An album of 62 albumen prints meas. appx. 115 x 195 mm. mounted two to a page recto and verso on thick card stock meas. appx. 345 x 273mm. Most of the photographs are dated in the negative. There is no text; the exception is a nine line printed label mounted in the center of the first page of the album identifying the bridge and its basic details. A detailed record of the construction of the bridge by F J Haynes who had recently been appointed the official photographer of the railroad. The bridge was a wooden trestle design of 1500 feet in length between four stone piers in the river. It utilized a combination Whipple truss and bowstring trusses at the landings. The two main spans saw sections of the truss assembled on land and then floated and lifted into place for assembly. Morison DAB XIII 191-192 had previously designed and built a number of bridges for the Erie Railroad under the direction of its chief engineer Octave Chanute. He was however at this time an independent contractor and this was his most sophisticated individual effort. He would go on to complete several more bridges across the northern United States amassing an astonishing record of successful crossings of most difficult environments. Haynes carefully photographed the most salient features of the multi-year construction providing a superb - possibly unique - engineering record of the construction work. OCLC does not locate any copies of this album; see the Tilden biography of Haynes Following the Frontier . who mentions Haynes' bridge photographs but provides no illustrations to match this album; absent from the North Dakota Historical Society collection. See chapter 4 in Edwards' . Early American Bridges for an excellent account of bridge engineering and material science. Not Published hardcover books
