Covered Bridges of New England

 

Jeffrey E. Blackman

A beautiful collection of photographs of New England's most treasured covered bridges by renowned photographer Jeffrey E. Blackman

When Jeffrey Blackman set out to capture New England's covered bridges on film, his goal was to create not just a pretty, postcard-perfect picture, but to tell a story about each bridge's history and usage through the years. He carefully studied each bridge from many angles before shooting and took pains to show the environment surrounding each bridge in its photo.

A special section about trusses explains the carefully engineered design of these bridges, and how and why these massive, carefully built matrixes of wood hold the bridge together.

This book makes a great memento for visitors who want to take home a bit of covered bridge beauty.
