Budapest - Chain Bridge Postcard
Chain Bridge (official name: Széchenyi Lánchíd or Széchenyi Chain Bridge) and the Royal Palace, Budapest, Hungary The Chain bridge is first permanent modern bridge over the Danube in Budapest.The suspension bridge was opened in 1849 but in was already in use from 1848. Its construction was initiated by Count Istvan Szechenyi and it was designed by the British engineer William Tierney Clark. The construction was supervised by a Scottish engineer, by Adam Clark. Two pairs of lions were added to the bridge in 1855. (According to the popular belief the lions have no tongues and the sculptor comitted suicide because of this error. The lions do have a tongue, but they are invisible from the ground. One of the lions of the Buda side has some missing teeth, the tongue there is still visible. Don't climb up to look into the mouth of the lion! Many people have fallen trying it!) During WW2 the Nazi troops destroyed the bridge which was reconstructed after the war.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
