EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a momentous event in 19th-century England, as depicted in this lithograph. The image showcases the creation of Lake Vyrnwy in the Vale of Llanwddyn, Montgomeryshire, which was intended to serve as a reservoir for the water supply of Liverpool. This ambitious project aimed to address the growing demand for clean water in one of Britain's largest cities. The scene is filled with notable figures and significant elements that highlight both engineering prowess and civic pride. The Mayor of Liverpool stands proudly alongside a water engineer, symbolizing their joint efforts to secure a reliable water source for their community. A grand dam named Moel Eunant dominates the landscape, showcasing human ingenuity and mastery over nature. A general view reveals the vastness of Lake Vyrnwy, its serene waters stretching into the distance. Filter beds can be seen nearby, indicating meticulous planning to ensure clean drinking water for Liverpool's residents. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on July 16th, 1892 – an illustration that undoubtedly captivated readers at the time. Today it serves as a testament to human determination and innovation while offering us a glimpse into an important chapter in Liverpool's history.
