London Bridge, City of London, 1911. Artist: Pictorial Agency
London Bridge, City of London, 1911. In 1799, a competition for designs to replace the existing London Bridge was held. John Rennie (1761-1821) won the competition with a conventional design of five stone arches. The new bridge was built 100 feet west of the previous structure, under the supervision of Rennies son. Work began in 1824 and the bridge opened to traffic in 1831. From London - The City, by Sir Walter Besant. [Adam & Charles Black, London, 1911]. (Colorised black and white print)

London Bridge, City of London, 1911 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1911. The iconic London Bridge stands proudly over the River Thames, showcasing its timeless beauty and architectural grandeur. Painted by Pictorial Agency, this colorized print brings life to a moment frozen in time. The history behind this magnificent bridge is equally fascinating. In 1799, a competition was held to replace the existing structure, with John Rennie emerging as the winner with his conventional design featuring five stone arches. Construction began under the watchful eye of Rennie's son in 1824 and was completed seven years later. As we gaze at this image, we are transported to an era when horse-drawn vehicles dominated the cityscape. The bridge serves as a vital link between different parts of London while witnessing countless journeys across its sturdy span. The photograph captures not only a remarkable feat of civil engineering but also provides insight into daily life during that period. It reminds us of how transportation has evolved over time while highlighting the enduring charm and significance of one of Britain's most famous landmarks. Through this beautifully colorized snapshot from Sir Walter Besant's book "London - The City" we can appreciate both the artistic vision behind capturing such moments and our shared heritage that connects us across generations.
