Construction of the great Victoria bridge in Canada
A 1860 engineering record of the Victoria Bridge over the St Lawrence in Canada, published by John Weale and compiled by James Hodges to document its construction for engineers and builders. The plates are precise technical drawings: elevations, plans and sections of the piers, timber centring, erecting cranes and lifting gear, with clean line work and little shading, which a designer could use as a reference for structural diagrams and industrial line illustration.
