A wonderful straw work and water colour picture depicting the Menai and Britannia bridges crossing the Menai Strait, which is a narrow stretch of shallow tidal water that separates the island of Anglesey from the mainland of Wales. Similar straw work pictures are known, and they may have been made by patients at the Glan-y-don hospital in Colwyn Bay, as a form of occupational therapy.

North Wales circa 1880
