Scope and Contents
6 ¼” x 9” black and white glossy photograph pasted on 8 ½” x 11” sheet of paper (WJE written in upper left corner), (typed caption) Footbridge near Wulflingen, Canton Zurich, Switzerland. 1933. Robert Maillart and W. Pfeiffer, engineers. Stiffened slabarch of 124-foot span. The subtle reverse curve of the footway makes this one of the most graceful of Mallart’s (i.e. Maillart) bridges. Arch and deck slabs fuse into one as they approach mid-stream, yet the total thickness of the crown is only 4-1/2 inches.
