About MeThis model bridge was probably made in early 1880s. It is almost certainly the model for which Harpers won a certificate of merit at the Calcutta International Exhibition in India, also in the Collections. The model clearly shows the style and elegance of Harper's suspension bridges.
Scale 1 inch to 2 foot.
