Taken during the bridge's construction throughout the late 1920s and early 1930s, Mallard's images chronicle every daring stage of the build — from the first anchoring of the enormous steel archways to the triumphant joining of the two halves high above Sydney's gleaming harbour — preserving the human drama and industrial ambition of one of the twentieth century's greatest public works.\n\nIntroduced by celebrated Australian photographer Max Dupain and historian Howard Tanner, this volume presents reproduction prints made by David Moore from Mallard's original negatives, in association with the Australian Centre for Photography, lending each image an archival authority and luminous depth that honours the photographer's original vision. Mallard's lens does not merely document steel and rivet; it captures the audacity of the men who built it, the scale of their ambition, and the transformation of a city's skyline forever. For anyone who has ever stood beneath the great arch and wondered how it came to be, this collection offers an answer that is both historical record and enduring work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160861155547,"sku":"2026200011588-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7117bad0-bd18-4749-a92d-9ce7979bbf36.png?v=1787187852","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011588-secondhand-building-the-sydney-harbour-bridge-the-photography-of-henri-mallard","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
