EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the foundation of London Bridge, 1825. Artist: G Yates This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the iconic London Bridge in 1825. Painted by artist G Yates, it showcases the meticulous work and engineering brilliance that went into building this architectural marvel. Designed by Scottish civil engineer John Rennie, the New London Bridge stood proudly over River Thames for nearly a century before being replaced. Its construction spanned from 1824 to 1831, symbolizing Britain's prowess in civil engineering during the 19th century. The image reveals intricate details of the bridge's foundations and support structures, highlighting both its strength and elegance. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical scene, transporting us back to a time when this magnificent structure was taking shape. Today, as we gaze upon this photograph print with awe and admiration, it is important to note that while the original London Bridge no longer stands in its place on River Thames, it has found new life across continents. Sold and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA between 1967 and 1972; it continues to be an enduring symbol connecting two nations. This artwork serves as a testament not only to Sir John Rennie's genius but also to our shared heritage - bridging gaps between countries and cultures through innovation.
