EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the riveting machine at work during the construction of the iconic Forth Bridge in Scotland. Built between 1882 and 1890, the Forth Bridge is an engineering marvel of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, spanning the Firth of Forth with its impressive red iron structure. The riveting machine, a vital tool during the bridge's construction, is the focus of this photograph. Workers can be seen in the background, diligently hammering home the rivets that held the bridge's iron plates together. The machine, with its intricate design and complex mechanism, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time. The Forth Bridge was the longest steel bridge in the world when it was completed, and its construction was a significant achievement for the railway industry. The bridge's design, featuring two railways on separate decks, allowed for the safe passage of trains in both directions, revolutionizing transportation in Scotland and beyond. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a unique perspective on the construction process of one of the most iconic structures in engineering history. The intricate details of the riveting machine and the dedicated workers bring the history of the Forth Bridge to life, making this image a must-have for any collection focused on railway history, industrial innovation, or the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
