Description:
This is one of a series of etchings done by F. Milveton Drake, who was invited to Cyprus by the administration as an engineer to help with a project. Drake gave special attention to the fortification of Famagusta and Nicosia. The stone bridge leading into Famagusta replaced the once wooden drawbridge of the Venetian and Ottoman periods. It cuts across the dry moat surrounding the walls of the city. The Revelin buildings expand on the area left of the bridge.
