C.1737 Architectural Elevations of Bridges Framed Prints

Delve into history with our collection of prints, paying tribute to the exquisite architectural elevation engravings from the 1700s that celebrate the bridges designed by James Paine for Chatsworth House. Among Paine's remarkable creations are the Two Bridges—One Arch and Three Arch—both inspired by the ancient Roman bridge at Rimini, Italy. Notably, the Three Arch Bridge, a marvel of engineering, was commenced in 1759 and impressively completed by 1761. It gracefully spans the River Derwent along the main drive to the house. The bridge's strategic placement ensures it's visible from the house and is thoughtfully oriented to provide that striking, iconic view of the house from the entrance drive, adding to the grandeur of Chatsworth House's architectural legacy..
