The New Jubilee Bridge - A Symbol of Engineering Marvel in Colonial India
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures the grandeur and significance of "The New Jubilee Bridge" an iconic landmark that spanned across the mighty River Hooghly in Hooghly, India. The image showcases a general view of the bridge, eagerly awaited by a crowd gathered on its banks. Constructed by the East Indian Railway Company, this engineering marvel was inaugurated on 21st February to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. Its completion marked a significant milestone in connecting various regions of colonial India through an extensive railway network. Lord Dufferin, then Viceroy of India, graced the occasion with his presence as he arrived to declare open this magnificent structure. The bridge stood tall as a testament to British engineering prowess and their ambitious endeavors to modernize transportation infrastructure in Asia. The artwork beautifully portrays different types of bridges - wooden, stone, and suspension - symbolizing diverse cultures coexisting harmoniously under British rule. It also highlights the rich tapestry of Indian culture with locals observing this momentous event. This historic print from 1887 serves as a window into an era when railways were transforming societies and economies worldwide. Today, "The New Jubilee Bridge" stands not only as a physical connection but also as a reminder of our shared history and remarkable feats achieved through human ingenuity.
