EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Methode par grande section, Construction de la voute" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of manual railway construction. The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases the intricate methods employed in building tunnels during that era. The image depicts a group of hardworking navvies diligently working on constructing a tunnel vault. With their sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, these skilled workers are seen meticulously placing supports to ensure stability and safety. Their expertise is evident as they navigate through the challenging task of engineering this underground passageway. Originally published as an illustration for Le Magasin Pittoresque in 1862, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the fine details captured by the artist's hand. The composition beautifully captures both the grandeur and complexity involved in such construction projects. As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are reminded of the remarkable progress made over time in engineering techniques. This print serves as a tribute to those who dedicated their lives to shaping our modern transportation systems. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this artwork from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for our present-day infrastructure.
