EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Menai Bridge in Bangor, North Wales, dating back to the early 19th century. Designed and constructed by the renowned engineer Thomas Telford between 1820 and 1826, this suspension bridge was a vital link for transporting mails between Dublin and London along the London/Holyhead road. The original timber deck of this magnificent structure met its unfortunate fate during a fierce storm in 1839. However, it was not defeated as the chains were subsequently renewed with high tensile steel in 1940, ensuring its longevity and resilience. In this image, we are presented with an enchanting blend of engineering marvels against nature's backdrop. The imposing archway of the Menai Bridge gracefully spans over the picturesque Menai Straits while being framed by lush greenery and towering trees. A sailboat glides peacefully beneath it, symbolizing both transportation and tranquility. This photograph is a testament to Telford's ingenuity during the Industrial Revolution era when civil engineering advancements reshaped landscapes across nations. It captures not only a significant architectural feature but also encapsulates centuries of history within its frame. With vibrant colors that bring life to every detail captured on film, this print serves as a visual time capsule transporting us back to witness firsthand one of Wales' most remarkable structures from the nineteenth century.
