Rhine Bridges (Hardcover)

Hardcover. The Rhine, the most important European river, is wreathed in myths and legends and has inspired poetry and music like no other. Until the 19th century it was crossed almost exclusively by means of ferries. With the onset of industrialization, more and more goods had to be transported increasingly rapidly. Today, over 250 bridges cross the river. They too now shape the unsurpassed diversity of the Rhine landscape. Since 1987, Riehle has photographed some 150 Rhine bridges from the rivers headwaters in Switzerland to the Rhines delta in the Netherlands. The most interesting 100 bridges are published in this book. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
