EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "South Abutments and Piers of Victoria Bridge, showing the Scaffolding employed for Erecting the Tubes" takes us back to 19th century Canada. The image showcases the remarkable engineering feat that was the construction of Victoria Bridge, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. The intricate scaffolding used in erecting the tubes is prominently displayed, highlighting the meticulous planning and execution required for such a monumental project. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when bridges were not merely functional structures but works of art in their own right. Victoria Bridge holds great significance as it connected Montreal with its neighboring city of Saint-Lambert across the St. Lawrence River. This vital link played an instrumental role in facilitating trade and transportation between eastern Canada and western North America. The presence of Canadian workers on-site reminds us of their invaluable contribution to this iconic landmark's creation. Their dedication and craftsmanship shine through every detail captured by this English School engraving. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate how bridges like Victoria Bridge have shaped our world – connecting communities, fostering growth, and symbolizing human progress throughout history.
