EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Iron Bridge at Sunderland in 1886. Known as the Wearmouth Bridge, it held the prestigious title of being the longest single span cast iron bridge in the world when it was first opened to the public in 1796. Renowned British engineer Robert Stephenson played a significant role in its reconstruction during 1857, solidifying its engineering prowess. The image showcases a stunning Victorian landscape with smoke billowing from both sailing ships and steamships that traverse along the river beneath this magnificent metal structure. The monochrome engraving beautifully depicts an era of transportation evolution, where water transport played a crucial role in connecting regions. Located in England's Tyne and Wear region, specifically within Sunderland on River Wear, this architectural marvel stands tall against its natural surroundings. Its presence symbolizes not only technological advancement but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. Preserved through time by Charles Tomlinson's meticulous illustration skills for Cyclopaedia of Useful Arts, Mechanical and Chemical Manufactures, Mining, and Engineering Volume I published in London during 1886; this print offers us a glimpse into an enchanting eighteenth-century landscape that has left an indelible mark on our geographical heritage.
