Description:
The Cooks River dam was located in the position of the present bridge on the Princes Highway at Tempe, New South Wales. Construction began in 1839 and was completed in 1842. It was demolished between 1896󈟏. From the original edition of the Illustrated Sydney News, which was published from 1854 to 1889 and included a number of high quality engravings to illustrate the accompanying news and articles. It was issued on a monthly basis due to the time consuming process of having to engrave each illustration which would take one engraver between one and two weeks to make each one. Due to their ephemeral nature few have survived.
