EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Works at Westminster-Bridge (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the construction of one of London's iconic landmarks. The image showcases the intricate process involved in building Westminster Bridge, with workers diligently carrying out their tasks. The engraving captures the bustling scene on and around the bridge, where a trench is being dug and a cast iron casing is carefully positioned. A group of travellers can be seen crossing the staging, an elevated timber platform that allows them to navigate through the construction site safely. Onlookers observe from the upper side of the old bridge as materials are deposited into the River Thames for dredging. The photograph highlights not only the technical aspects of constructing a bridge but also emphasizes its significance as a means of travel and connection. It serves as a reminder that bridges have played an essential role throughout history in facilitating journeys and enabling people to explore new horizons. With its attention to detail and historical context, this print transports viewers back in time, allowing them to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such structures and their enduring impact on society.
