EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a historic moment in London's history. This vibrant and detailed etching, created by A. Pugin from a drawing by W. Findlater and engraved by R. Havell & Son in 1818, showcases the grandeur and significance of this event. The scene depicts the majestic Waterloo Bridge spanning across the River Thames, with boats and barges gathered below to witness the state opening ceremony. The cityscape provides a stunning backdrop as spectators eagerly line up along its banks, waving flags in anticipation. From the top of Holylands Hotel, above Salisbury Wharf, we are given an elevated perspective that allows us to fully appreciate both the scale of this architectural marvel and the excitement surrounding its inauguration. As smoke billows from nearby chimneys and steamboats navigate through bustling waters, it is evident that this momentous occasion was met with great fanfare. The atmosphere is electric as people come together to celebrate not only a new bridge but also progress and innovation. This print serves as a testament to London's rich history while showcasing Augustus Charles Pugin's artistic talent in capturing such intricate details. It invites viewers into a world long past but forever preserved within this remarkable piece of art. Image source: www. bridgemanimages. com (not for commercial use)
