Description: | Black and white engraving of Union Bridge on brown paper. The Bow Bridge was designed and built by John Jeans in 1747, and removed in 1851.
"One of a series of views of Aberdeen produced by Smith and Swan in 1822. See also 30317, 30172,30307. Joseph (or Joshua) Swan was a Glasgow-based engraver active c.1820-40. The Bow Brig was designed and built by John Jeans in 1747. It was removed in 1851. Rather than an image of progress as are the many images of the nearby 'Union Bridge', the Bow bridge is here used as an opportunity for nostalgia."
