EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back in time to witness the grandeur of Calstock viaduct, situated in the picturesque region of Cornwall. The image captures a serene view up the river towards the magnificent viaduct, which was completed on March 2nd, 1908. Its construction stands as a testament to human engineering prowess and serves as an enduring symbol of progress. The photographer behind this remarkable shot remains unknown, but their skill is evident in capturing every intricate detail with precision and artistry. The composition beautifully showcases the architectural marvel that is Calstock viaduct against a backdrop of natural beauty. Notably absent from this snapshot is any sign of railway activity on the quay at that particular moment in history. This omission allows us to appreciate the tranquil ambiance surrounding this iconic landmark before it became bustling with locomotives and passengers. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich heritage and its significant contributions to transportation infrastructure. This photograph invites us to reflect on how our world has evolved over time while preserving moments frozen forever through these visual treasures
