EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in history - the opening of the Royal Albert Bridge over the River Tamar in Saltash, Cornwall. Designed by the brilliant British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1859, this magnificent structure stands as a testament to his ingenuity and vision. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see crowds gathering on the banks of the river, eagerly celebrating this remarkable feat of engineering. The sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back to a time when rail transport was still relatively new and exciting. The composition beautifully showcases both land and water elements. A sailing ship gracefully glides through the river while rowboats dot its surface. The landscape format allows us to appreciate not only the bridge itself but also its surroundings, with lush greenery framing this architectural marvel. Amidst all these elements, it is impossible not to notice the diverse crowd that has gathered for this historic event. Men and women alike stand side by side, united in their awe and admiration for Brunel's creation. Otto Herschan skillfully captured this significant moment with his albumen box camera, preserving it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of how infrastructure can shape our world and bring communities together.
