Sydney Bridge

200-piece interlocking cardboard jigsaw puzzle of c1930s manufacture, featuring another artistic study by the British artist/illustrator Charles Edwin Montfort (1891-1975).
Once again, the image includes an inscription with some historical details of the bridge. This reads:
"Sydney Bridge, Australia. The largest arch bridge in existence. 1650 ft. span, 160 ft. wide. Opened 19th March 1932."

As of 2020, Sydney Bridge is ranked ninth in the list of the World's longest arch bridges, behind 6 from China and 2 from the United States. In fairness, the initial record claimed for the Sydney Bridge appears debatable, as the Bayonne Bridge in the USA is slightly longer and opened one year earlier in 1931. But then that only relates to length, rather than overall size, with Sydney Bridge being almost double the width of the Bayonne, so maybe the claim is justified!
