EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Hungerford Bridge from the East" takes us back to Victorian London, offering a glimpse into its rich history and architectural marvels. Engraved by Jean Jacottet in 1854, this stunning piece showcases the suspension bridge designed by renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The image captures the grandeur of the Hungerford Bridge as it gracefully stretches across the mighty River Thames. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's color lithography beautifully brings out every intricate detail, highlighting both its structural magnificence and historical significance. Built between 1841 and 1845, this suspension bridge served Hungerford Market, bustling with activity during that era. Its construction was a testament to Brunel's engineering prowess and innovation. The bridge stood tall for almost two decades before being replaced in 1864 due to increased traffic demands. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness Victorian London at its finest. The hustle and bustle of river traffic can almost be heard echoing through the image while horse-drawn carriages traverse along its length. This print serves as a reminder of how civil engineering has shaped our cities throughout history. Preserved within the archives of London Metropolitan Archives, City of London, this remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate not only Brunel's genius but also Shepherd's talent in capturing such an iconic landmark on paper.
