1. Puente Nuevo Bridge Over the Guadalevin River: A Historical and Architectural Marvel The Puente Nuevo bridge, located in the picturesque town of Ronda, Spain, is an architectural and historical marvel that has stood the test of time. This magnificent structure, built over the Guadalevin river, is depicted in this handcoloured copperplate engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar, Germany, in 1823. Designed by the renowned Spanish architect Jose Martin de Aldehuela, the Puente Nuevo bridge was constructed between 1751 and 1793. Aldehuela's innovative design featured three arches, with the central arch spanning an impressive 61 meters, making it one of the longest bridges of its kind during that period. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of the Puente Nuevo bridge, with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The bridge's elegant arches, supported by robust pillars, gracefully span the Guadalevin river, creating a stunning visual effect. The surrounding landscape, with its lush greenery and winding river, further enhances the bridge's natural beauty. This illustration, created using the copperplate engraving technique, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The intricate lines and shading, combined with the rich colors, bring the image to life, offering a glimpse into the past and the engineering marvels of the 18th century. As an educational tool, this engraving serves as an excellent example of the natural history and architectural achievements of the past. It also provides a fascinating insight into the artistic techniques used during the era, showcasing the skill and creativity of the illustrator. Overall, this image of the Puente Nuevo bridge over the Guadalevin river is a testament to the enduring allure of history and the power of art to transport us back in time.
