EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Durham Junction Railway Victoria Bridge, also known as Victoria Viaduct. A true engineering marvel, this structure is beautifully depicted in seven drawings on one sheet. The first drawing captures the bridge's impressive elevation, with trains gracefully passing over it, symbolizing the seamless connection it provides to travelers. The second drawing reveals a detailed plan of its superstructure, highlighting the intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship involved in its construction. Moving on to the third drawing, we are presented with a longitudinal section that offers an insightful glimpse into the inner workings of this architectural masterpiece. The fourth drawing focuses on the center of the main pier, showcasing its robustness and stability. As we delve further into these drawings, we encounter sections at various arch heights – 144ft for the fifth section, 100ft for the sixth section – each demonstrating how this viaduct adapts seamlessly to different terrains and elevations. Finally, we reach a seventh drawing depicting a section at the center of a smaller 20ft arch. Consulting engineer J Walker esq. , alongside engineer TE Harrison esq. , have left their indelible mark on this exceptional project. Credit must also be given to David Bremner for his impeccable artistry in capturing these drawings so vividly. This print serves as both an homage to remarkable engineering achievements and an invitation to marvel at human ingenuity throughout history.
