CURTIS, Robert Emerson. Building the Bridge. Sydney, Simmons, 1933.

Folio. Original cloth-backed illustrated boards, pp. [54], 12 full-page lithographs and one tipped-in colour lithograph; an exceptionally well-preserved copy.

First edition, number 88 of a print-run of 400, signed by the artist. This beautiful publication celebrates the completion of Sydney Harbour Bridge. J.J.C. Bradfield writes in the foreword 'The Sydney Harbour Bridge, so long a dream, is to-day a bold and practical reality. A triumphant arch of steel, humanising our landscape in the Ideals of all true Australians, simplicity, beauty and service. It was a Big Plan ; the thoughts and strivings of many men. Its success lies in the loyalty of Engineers and Workmen to the Ideal of the Big Plan. Inch by inch, step by step, they built the Bridge, until to-day it is finished, a work of service, a thing of beauty, which will assert itself long after we are gone. In the following drawings, Mr. Curtis tells you something of the magnitude of the work that lay before the Builders. When an important stage in the construction had been reached, when the subject was "meat" for his pencil, whether by accident or design, he would invariably be seen, somewhere, "on the job." In these drawings are expressed the strength, the labour, the romance of a great undertaking' (p. 4).

'Robert Emerson Curtis (1898–1986), artist, arrived in Sydney from England in his mid-teens. Having studied art by correspondence, he went to the USA with his friend, cinematographer Charles Chauvel, in 1922 and spent six years in San Francisco and Chicago, studying, creating etchings and woodcuts and illustrating various magazines. Surprised on his return to Sydney to find that an arch bridge was under way, he approached engineer John Bradfield and requested access to the Sydney Harbour Bridge site. Over the ensuing years he created a series of lithographs documenting the construction. Some of these were published as Building the Bridge in 1933' (National Portrait Gallery, Australia, online).

Shih Tzu and schnauzer approved
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
My babies are grown teenagers now so now I spoil my dogs. I have amazing episodes of Shih Tzu and schnauzer and these girls live like royalty. They love these fact I get treats from Amazon so often that when the Amazon man comes, they go crazy because they think the boxes are for them.. I think dogs need variety and my girls are living their best lives.

Very thin & doesn't last
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
My dogs loves these but they are very thin and don't last long. My smallest dog 28lbs will eat these in less than 2mins and the bigger ones 95lbs will take like 3 bites and it's gone. Will be buying more because it's a great value for the money and my dogs love them.

Good stuff with some minor caveats
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 1.5 Pound (Pack of 1)
My dog generally loves these. They seem to be a good quality ingredients. I think he likes the taste, but do know that they have a very smoky smell. I don’t know how fresh jerky can be, but they do seem like a very good value for the money. Another brand sells dog jerky as human quality. And my dog also likes that. The other brand is much softer, and this brand, wag, is a bit harder. So perhaps, if you have an older dog or a dog with teeth issues, this might not be the best choice.
