1894rif. 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.
