EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of the construction of the iconic Forth Bridge in Scotland, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us to the early 20th century when the bridge was still under construction. The Forth Bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, was built between 1882 and 1890, connecting the towns of North and South Queensferry over the Firth of Forth. This black and white lantern slide image showcases the intricate details of the bridge's construction, with workers toiling away on the massive structure. The iron girders, cranes, and steam engines are all prominently featured, providing a fascinating look at the industrial processes of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The bridge's distinctive red-ochre colour can be seen in the background, a testament to the painstaking efforts to protect the ironwork from the harsh Scottish weather. The image also reveals the vastness of the project, with the bridge stretching out into the distance, seemingly endless in its reach. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the human spirit, as well as a testament to the engineering prowess of the past. It invites us to reflect on the incredible feats that were achieved during this period, and to appreciate the beauty and history of the Forth Bridge, a symbol of Scotland's rich industrial heritage.
