(A TYPOLOGY OF BRIDGES)
An album with more than 100 photographs titled Covered Bridges of Chester County, Pennsylvania.
With numerous images documenting covered bridges, some still standing, others with their dates noted on the back of the images. Descriptive and exhaustive, this typology of bridges expands both over time and a distinct geographic region. Some bridges with multiple images, and all with period notations noting the name of the bridge, its location, the date built, and the township or water feature it spans. Silver prints, the images measuring approximately 5x7 inches (12.7x17.8 cm.), linen-backed, all with captions, including the dates and location, in pencil on verso. Oblong 8vo, blue cloth with a gilt-lettered title, twin-bolt binding. 1930s
