EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Pont Aberglaslyn in Gwynedd, Wales, circa 1870. The bridge, built in the 17th century and now a Grade II listed building, stands proudly over the Afon Glaslyn river. Its arched structure is beautifully captured against the backdrop of majestic mountains and lush greenery. Legend has it that this remarkable bridge was either constructed by the devil himself or by skilled Roman engineers. Such folklore adds an air of mystery to this already picturesque location. As we explore this image further, we notice a lone figure standing on the bridge with a fishing rod in hand, indulging in one of Britain's favorite pastimes - angling. The surrounding landscape exudes natural beauty as plants thrive along the riverbanks and mountains rise majestically into the sky. This scene perfectly encapsulates both historical significance and breathtaking scenery. The print itself is an engraving from "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles, Vol. II" published by Cassell Petter & Galpin in London around 1870. It showcases not only the physical features but also captures a sense of literature and artistry within its composition. As we admire this stunning piece from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector/Heritage Images, we are transported to a time when nature's wonders intertwined with human craftsmanship to create lasting landmarks like Pont Aberglaslyn Bridge.
