A book "Building The Bridge" with lithographs by Robert Emerson Curtis 1933 reprint in 1982. It made oos think about labour an' the work that has been lost in time. Yer look at bridge and it's dead canny boot nae thought of how it came together. These prints were a great find as the artist spent time watching, drawing and its impressive. There's the ccrak boot engineer who dinna know if the bridge would meet and hold together until last rivet were driven in. It does, boot bounces oonder yon traffic. It is still summat ter cross on foot.
