Description
Note: "Nr. 20 [QC-30.016.0015] ist das Bild einer neuen Brücke über den Kalla-Holü [Entzifferung unklar] (Steinbach) 28 Meilen von Cannanore sie wurde in den letzten zwei Jahren erbaut nach einem neuen architectonischen Princip in Holzverbindung. Der Fluss kommt von den Kurgbergen herab und ist in der Regenzeit so voll und reissend, dass noch kein anderer Brückenbau seinem Andrang widerstehen konnte." (3. Quartalsbericht 06.10.1860: 2). Note translation: "No. 20 [QC-30.006.0015] is the picture of a new bridge over the Kalla-Holü [dificult to decypher] (stony stream) 28 miles from Cannanore. It was built in the last 2-3 years on the basis of a new architectural principle using joined timber. The stream comes down from the Kurg mountains and is so full and rapid in the rainy season that no other form of bridge-building is strong enough to resist it." (3rd Quarterly report by C.G. Richter, 06.10.1860, p. 2).
