EDIÇÃO Comemorativa da Inauguração da Ponte da Arrábida. Porto. 1983. - EDIÇÃO Comemorativa da Inauguração da Ponte da Arrábida . Porto: Câmara Municipal do Porto, 1983. [12] ff., 50 gravs.: il.; 330x470 mm. Commemorative edition of the inauguration of the Arrábida Bridge over the Douro River in Porto, designed by engineer Edgar Cardoso and inaugurated on June 22, 1963, the date on which its reinforced concrete arch with a span of 270 meters constituted the largest in the world for this type of structure. This volume is not a technical publication about the bridge, but an iconographic anthology of the city of Porto: it brings together fifty historical views spanning a chronological arc from the 17th to the 20th century, selected and accompanied by descriptive texts by Engineer Avelino Joaquim Monteiro de Andrade and Dr. António Cruz, with graphic design by the painter Carlos Carneiro and a prologue by Professor Damião Peres. The publication thus associates the engineering work with a visual celebration of the city itself, bringing together in a single volume a considerable collection of iconographic documents from the history of Porto and its river.
