EDITORS COMMENTS
Railway Ribaldry" by W Heath Robinson: A Humorous Illustration of the Building of Saltash Bridge in 1835 This delightful illustration by W Heath Robinson, titled "Railway Ribaldry," offers a comical take on the construction of Saltash Bridge in Devonshire, England, during the 1830s. The scene depicts a group of workmen, dressed in typical Victorian attire, attempting to build the bridge using an assortment of unconventional and humorous methods. At the center of the illustration, a man in a top hat and waistcoat is seen operating a large bellows-powered contraption, which appears to be inflating a balloon filled with water. The balloon is attached to a rope, which is being used to lift a brick pillar into place. Nearby, another workman is rowing a small boat filled with bricks, while a third man is using a large pair of bellows to blow up another balloon, which is being used to hold down a section of the bridge under construction. The scene is filled with amusing details, such as a fish swimming in the water beneath the bridge, a man holding a teapot and offering a cup of Devonshire cream tea to a passing train conductor, and a group of men gathered around a barrel of beer. Heath Robinson's illustration captures the spirit of the early steam railway era, with its combination of hard work, ingenuity, and good humor. The illustration is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the workmen of the time, who used their creativity and determination to overcome the challenges of building the railway infrastructure that would connect the country and revolutionize transportation. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and lighthearted view of the construction of Saltash Bridge in 1835. It is a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the railway industry in Britain and the ingenuity and humor of those who built it.
