EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history that would later become tragic. Queen Victoria can be seen travelling over the iconic Tay Bridge in Dundee, on July 5th, 1879. Little did anyone know at the time that later that year, on December 21st, the very same bridge would collapse while a train was crossing it, resulting in the devastating deaths of 75 people.
The image is a poignant reminder of how quickly circumstances can change and how fragile even the most sturdy structures can be. The historical significance of this photograph is immense, as it not only showcases Queen Victoria's travels but also serves as a haunting prelude to one of Scotland's worst railway disasters.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our history and learning from past mistakes. The Tay Bridge collapse remains a somber chapter in Dundee's history, forever etched into memory by images such as these.
Let us remember those who lost their lives on that fateful day and honor their memory by ensuring that tragedies like this never happen again. This print serves as both a visual record of Queen Victoria's journey and a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and infrastructure.
