Légende
Russian Bullock Carts, 1850. The Tsar Nicholas I Chain Bridge at Kiev (in modern Ukraine) was designed by Charles Blacker Vignoles. The iron for the bridge was forged in England. 'It required fifteen vessels [ships] to convey the iron to Odessa, whence it was taken up to Kieff (a distance of nearly 400 English miles) in small waggons, drawn by oxen, over the wild steppes, almost without roads, or none that deserve the name'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
