EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Construction of New London Bridge, 1826" takes us back in time to witness the monumental undertaking of building a new bridge over the Thames. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Augustus Wall Callcott, whose attention to detail brings every aspect of this construction site to life. In this scene, we are transported to September 1826 when work on the bridge was well underway. The bustling activity along the riverbank captures our attention as carts filled with materials line up alongside the water's edge. Skilled workers can be seen meticulously constructing what would become one of London's iconic landmarks. The sheer scale and complexity of this project are evident in every stroke of Callcott's engraving. The intricate architectural details showcase both the grandeur and functionality that were characteristic of bridges during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but marvel at the ingenuity and craftsmanship required for such an ambitious endeavor. This particular artwork is part of a private collection and has been preserved immaculately throughout history. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection allows us a glimpse into an important chapter in London's history – a testament to human innovation and determination. As we admire this historical masterpiece by Bridgeman Images, let us reflect on how far we have come since those early days of bridge construction while appreciating the timeless beauty captured within these engraved lines.
