NotesSubject Note: This image was published on page 74 of Richard Welling's book, The Technique of Drawing Buildings. It is very similar to 2012.284.42 and .23, with some minor variations--the finials on top of the bridge towers are different, this reproduction contains the automobiles under the bridge and on its deck, and was originally drawn in a sketchier line than the other two.
