The Opening of the Blackwall Tunnel - A Royal Celebration
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a momentous event in London's history - the grand opening of the iconic Blackwall Tunnel. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a significant milestone for transportation infrastructure. Intricately detailed, it depicts His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales leading the inauguration ceremony on May 22nd, 1897. They stand at the entrance of this engineering marvel, representing Queen Victoria as they officially open its gates. The Blackwall Tunnel was a testament to human ingenuity and progress. Its construction marked a breakthrough in connecting north and south London beneath the River Thames. This vital link facilitated smoother travel for both pedestrians and vehicles alike. The presence of royalty adds an air of regality to this historic occasion. Their participation highlights the importance bestowed upon such advancements by Her Most Gracious Majesty The Queen herself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Peter Jackson Collection's Look and Learn series, we are transported back to that joyous day when London County Council unveiled their masterpiece to great acclaim. This engraving serves as a reminder not only of our city's rich heritage but also our relentless pursuit towards innovation and connectivity throughout time.
