EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the opening of the Forth Bridge by the Prince of Wales. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a significant milestone in British engineering and royal history. The Forth Bridge, an iconic Scottish landmark spanning over the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, was officially opened with great pomp and ceremony. In this print, we witness a grand procession led by the Prince of Wales himself as he inaugurates this remarkable feat of engineering. The level of detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; every intricate element has been meticulously captured to transport us back to that monumental day. From the majestic arches and towering pillars supporting the bridge's structure to the crowds gathered along its length, it is evident that this event drew immense public interest and admiration. This particular print originates from Cassells History of England (special edition) published around 1890 – a testament to how quickly news spread during those times. Digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, it allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also serves as a visual reminder of human ingenuity and progress. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are reminded not only of our rich cultural heritage but also inspired by what can be achieved when visionaries come together to create something truly extraordinary.
