Views in Glasgow
PLATE ONE
Cathedral and Bridge of Sighs
This view shows Glasgow, or St. Mungo's Cathedral from the
south prior to the demolition of its western towers. The `Bridge
of Sighs', designed by David Hamilton (1768-1843) in the 1830s,
was erected over the Molendinar Burn which subsequently was
culverted. It leads to the Necropolis which opened in 1833 and
was Britain's third hygienic cemetery, based on the model of Pere
Lachaise in Paris
