'Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew -
Wanted to know what the River knew,
Twenty Bridges or twenty-two,
For they were young, and the Thames was old
And this is the tale that River told.’

Hand-crafted typographic art featuring the opening lines to 'The River's Tale' by Rudyard Kipling in the shape of the river Thames, with all the relevant bridges plotted in position.
