Waco is the only drawing in this catalog with a suspension bridge in it. The cables are drawn as two slack curves running between piers, and they take up more width than any building does.
What is in the drawing
A low building opens the left under an onion-domed cupola, with a round arch cut through its base. The bridge follows: two piers standing on the ground line with the cable slung between them in a shallow sag, and the deck drawn as a straight line running underneath from one side to the other. Past it two tall slabs rise, the higher one notched at the crown, and a stepped block stands beside them. A small pointed spire follows, then a long low stadium with a mast on it, a tower with a rounded crown, and a plain slab closes the right.
Who buys it
Waco sells to two audiences that barely overlap, the university and the visitors who come for the shops, and the bridge is the one shape both of them recognise. It moves steadily rather than seasonally, which is unusual for a city this size.
Mug or canvas
Long thin lines with air around them are what a suspension bridge is made of, and they read cleanly whatever the size, so this ranks among the better mugs in the batch. Ink is a light 0.051, width 2.409 to 1, and a mug takes it all the way round. For canvas, 24 by 16 gives the cable and the deck clear daylight between them.
