EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Percement d un tunnel, methode par grande section, Agrandissement de la galerie primitive" showcases the remarkable engineering work of the 19th century. The print depicts a manual labor scene where navvies are diligently working on expanding a tunnel gallery using the method of large sections. The image transports us back in time to witness the immense effort and skill required for such an ambitious project. The railway workers can be seen toiling away with their tools and supports, showcasing their determination and expertise in this challenging endeavor. Originally created as an illustration for Le Magasin Pittoresque in 1862, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical moment. It is evident that precision was crucial during these times when technology was not as advanced as it is today. The composition captures both the grandeur and intricacy of this engineering feat. The viewer cannot help but marvel at the scale of human achievement represented by this enlargement of the primitive gallery. This artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance throughout history. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of our ancestors' tireless efforts in shaping our modern world through monumental projects like tunnel construction.
