John Sweetman's book is a handsomely produced compendium of illustrations and commentary on the bridge in paintings and prints. With some initial images dating from the Renaissance, the book covers art from 1700 [End Page 414] through the 1920s but emphasizes European art from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is a valuable reference for those interested in situating bridge imagery in a context of cultural history rather than technological history
