EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the impressive engineering feat of tunnel construction. Titled "Percement d un tunnel, methode par section divisee, Ouverture des galeries auxiliaires et construction des pieds-droits" it depicts the meticulous process involved in creating a railway tunnel. The artwork portrays a scene filled with manual labor and determination. A group of hardworking navvies can be seen diligently working on various tasks to ensure the successful completion of the project. The method depicted here is known as "section divisee" where different sections of the tunnel are worked on simultaneously. The image provides an insight into the complexity and precision required for such an undertaking. It highlights not only the physical work but also emphasizes important elements like supports, footings (pieds-droits), and auxiliary galleries that play crucial roles in ensuring stability and safety within the tunnel. Originally created as an illustration for Le Magasin Pittoresque in 1862, this digitally cleaned print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic value. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in overcoming challenges posed by ambitious engineering projects. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in transportation history while reminding us of our ability to conquer seemingly insurmountable obstacles through collaboration and innovation.
