EDITORS COMMENTS
Bangor, The Britannia Bridge, From Anglesey (258), Printed 1860 circa, is an exquisite 19th century albumen print by renowned English photographer Francis Bedford. This image showcases the breathtaking view of Bangor, a historic town in Gwynedd, Wales, from Anglesey. The photograph was taken from a vantage point that perfectly frames the natural setting of the town, with the Menai Strait and the Britannia Bridge in the foreground. The Britannia Bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, spans the Menai Strait and connects the island of Anglesey to the mainland. The bridge, with its distinctive wrought-iron design, adds an industrial element to the otherwise serene and picturesque scene. Bedford's masterful use of photography brings out the intricate details of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. The natural setting is depicted in all its glory, with the vibrant green foliage contrasting beautifully with the grey tones of the bridge and the sky. The position of the camera, looking out towards the bridge from a slight elevation, allows for a sweeping vista of the town and its surroundings. The photograph captures the essence of the Welsh countryside, with its rolling hills, lush greenery, and natural beauty. This photograph, now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to Bedford's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of a place and time. The image invites the viewer to imagine the hustle and bustle of the town, the sound of the water lapping against the shore, and the feeling of being transported back in time to the 1860s.
