This engraving, titled "Construction d'une des piles du pont du Tay, en Ecosse, à l'aide de l'air comprimé" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the remarkable engineering feat of building the Tay Bridge in Scotland. The print showcases one of the bridge's pillars being constructed with the innovative use of compressed air. The intricate details captured by the French School artist highlight the meticulous craftsmanship involved in this ambitious project. Each stroke on paper brings to life the dedication and skill required to erect such a monumental structure.
