Label TextMeasuring just 1/4 x 5/8 inches, Triangular Bridge, Crowland is the smallest print in this exhibition. The subject is an unusual 14th-century bridge located in the middle of the English town of Crowland, Lincolnshire. The bridge originally spanned the River Welland and a tributary, which explains its triangular structure and three stairways, but the waterways were long ago diverted and today the bridge stands in the middle of the town.Exhibition HistoryToledo Museum of Art, Storytelling in Miniature, October 7, 2011-March 4, 2012.Comparative ReferencesSee also Library of Congress, American Prints, The Johns Hopkins Press, 1970, no. 494.
