- Images and footages featuring the bridge and its detailed features
- Images of its statuary: the four La Madre Filipina, the four figures near the river, and the central emblems on the bridge
- The actual date and moment it was bombed

Hello, yes. To clarify, I am looking for archival media (photographs, video, etc) depicting the Jones Bridge during its time before, during, and after World War II.
I am particularly interested in any possible media that shows clear details of the ornamentations featured on the bridge such the sculptures and statuaries.
In regard to documents, perhaps there are blueprints or plans available. What was the reasoning and history behind its construction and design, and when was it destroyed.
Additional info, documents, publications about Juan Arellano would be appreciated too.
