View of Bilbao, Spain, from the railway station, 1862. Creator: Unknown
View of Bilbao, Spain, from the railway station, 1862. View...looking inland, of the maritime terminus of [the Bilbao and Tudela Railway]...This great work, of which the engineering difficulties have been so ably surmounted by the engineer-in-chief, Charles Vignoles, Esq. F.R.S. is mainly due to the enterprise and knowledge of sound commercial principles displayed by the merchants and citizens of Bilbao...the modern and ancient city [is] divided by the Nervion, the estuary of which river forms the port of Bilbao. The principal objects of architectural interest are the old church and bridge de San Anton...On the opposite bank of the stream are the remains of a Jesuit church...Bilbao is distant six miles from Portugalete, where the Nervion flows into the Bay of Biscay. From its contiguity to the sea, and its rapid communication by rail with the interior, it is becoming one of the most important ports of Spain'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1862, showcases a breathtaking view of Bilbao, Spain, as seen from the railway station. The image looks inland, offering a unique perspective of the maritime terminus of the Bilbao and Tudela Railway. This engineering marvel, masterfully designed by the esteemed engineer, Sir Charles Vignoles, has overcome significant challenges, making it a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. The photograph reveals the harmonious coexistence of the modern and ancient city, with the Nervion river acting as a natural boundary. The cityscape is divided by the river, with the old church and bridge de San Anton standing proudly on the right bank. The modern structures of the railway station and the adjacent buildings contrast beautifully with the ancient architectural treasures. On the opposite bank, the remnants of a Jesuit church add an intriguing layer to the rich history of Bilbao. The city, located six miles from Portugalete, is a significant port city due to its proximity to the sea and its efficient rail connection to the interior. Bilbao's strategic position has made it one of Spain's most important ports, contributing significantly to the country's economic growth and cultural exchange. This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1862, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty, history, and significance of Bilbao during a pivotal moment in its development.
