- Scope and Contents
- Rivers are bridged only when they are quite unfordable. To construct a bridge, lianas are fastened to trees on either side of the river and swung across to the opposite side. By interlacing these with other lianas a structure is provided which, if it has been carefully made, will sometimes last for several years. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Westinghouse Film and traveled to Africa from October 26, 1970 to end of March 1971.
