EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the innovative engineering of Thomas Telford's cast-iron aqueduct on the Shrewsbury Canal at Long (Longdon-upon-Tern) in 1797. The intricate design and craftsmanship of this aqueduct, depicted in exquisite detail by Wilson Lowry's copperplate engraving, showcase Telford's mastery in creating durable and efficient structures.
Alongside Telford's masterpiece is Robert Fulton's design for an aqueduct, offering a glimpse into another visionary mind of the time. The juxtaposition of these two designs highlights the advancements made in civil engineering during the late 18th century, as well as the creativity and ingenuity that drove these innovations forward.
John Farey's original drawing from Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature serves as the basis for this print, which has been beautifully preserved by Florilegius. The historical significance of these architectural marvels is evident in every line and curve captured on paper.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when engineers like Telford and Fulton were pushing boundaries and reshaping landscapes with their groundbreaking ideas. It serves as a reminder of the power of human innovation and determination to overcome challenges through sheer brilliance.
