The Bridge of Sighs is a bridge located in Venice, northern Italy. The enclosed bridge is made of white limestone and has windows with stone bars. It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the New Prison (Prigioni Nuove) to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It was designed by Antonio Contino (whose uncle Antonio da Ponte had designed the Rialto Bridge) and was built in 1600.
Measures approximately 8 x 10 inches; affixed to a larger cardstock page for a finished size of 10.75 x 13.75 inches. Seemingly removed from a binding; edges are gold gilded with binding trace on the left hand or top edge (depending on how page is viewed). Verso is blank and clean. In very good condition with light signs of wear and handling.
