EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Charing Cross Railway Bridge in London as it stood in the early 20th century. The image, taken by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, is part of a private collection that showcases historical landmarks and architectural marvels. The bridge's grandeur is evident in its intricate design, with its span reaching across the River Thames. However, this particular photograph reveals a significant event in the bridge's history - a collapsed section that had to be replaced. The flat roof of a nearby playhouse can be seen adjacent to the damaged area. This stunning visual documentation was featured as an illustration for E Beresford Chancellor's book "The West End of Yesterday and Today" published by Architectural Press in 1926. It provides viewers with a glimpse into London's past and highlights how structures like Charing Cross Railway Bridge have evolved over time. Although credited to "Mr Ingle" for recent photographs, this vintage print serves as a testament to both the skill of the anonymous English photographer who captured it and Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving historical artifacts through their Fine Art Finder platform. This remarkable piece invites us to explore not only London's rich architectural heritage but also its ever-changing landscape throughout different eras.
