What is The Eads Bridge photograph. essay about?

The Eads Bridge over the Mississippi River at St. Louis is a landmark of American architecture and engineering. This visual and historical introduction to the Eads Bridge will be equally enjoyable to readers who know the bridge intimately and have long admired it, as well as those who are being introduced to it for the first time. Unlike most photographs of Eads Bridge, which are taken from a distance, Quinta Scott's intimate photographic essay shows the subtleties of form and texture that give this structure its remarkable aesthetic impact. Howard Miller's text complements the photos, explaining the place of James Eads's unorthodox design in the history of American architecture and aesthetics. Miller also explains the bridge's place in local and national economic history, describes its innovative engineering, and brings to life its unique creator.
