Charles Adams Platt’s *Bridge at Saragossa* is an etching, a printmaking technique that uses an acid bath to create the image on a metal plate. The artwork showcases a detailed depiction of a bridge, with a prominent view of the Basilica del Pilar, a significant landmark in Saragossa, Spain. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner. This etching, made around the 19th century, exemplifies Platt’s mastery of the printmaking process and his ability to capture the architectural details of a historic European city.
