Item 55: "Wergins Br New" 37 on drawing; "Wergins Bridge New" on mounting. This is NOT a print but an ORIGINAL artwork; No professionally verified authorship.
A lovely original pen and ink drawing on Endsor and Newton Bristol Board signed with the single letter "K," dated 36 for 1936. This is one from a large collection of topographical views mainly from the lake district and all dated between 1936 and 1940; most of these are of bridges and churches. These may be for a book or for publication. Please note this is an original pen and ink drawing and NOT a print. I have tried to research the artist (definitely a professional artist) - so far my best attribution is to Walter Monckton Keesey A.R.E. 1887 -1970 who published several sketchbooks of his topographical work and pen and ink drawings for postcard publication, and sometimes signed his work with a single "K."
Wergins New Bridge is an early example of a reinforced concrete bridge and a rare example using the Kahn system of construction. Single arch bridge built in 1913 to replace an earlier bridge. The span is 50' over the River Lugg and it is 26' wide. The mass concrete aprons protect against the scour of the river bed. There is a recently erected plaque celebrating its centenary. The bridge stands near to Sutton St Nicholas, Herefordshire.
Dimensions: loosely mounted on 12" x 10" inches sheets, and actual drawing portion is approximately 6.55 x 5.45" inches.
