EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in engineering history - the construction of the iconic Forth Bridge. Designed by the esteemed duo of Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker, this marvel of Victorian engineering was brought to life by the skilled hands of Sir William Arrol. The image showcases the intricate network of steel girders and scaffolding that would eventually form one of Scotland's most famous landmarks.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from March 1890, we are transported back to a time when railway transport was rapidly evolving, and ambitious projects like the Forth Bridge were pushing boundaries in architectural innovation. The sheer scale and complexity of this undertaking is evident in every detail captured in this photograph.
The Forth Bridge stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, symbolizing both progress and tradition in equal measure. When it finally opened to traffic in 1913, it not only revolutionized transportation but also became an enduring symbol of Scottish pride.
This print serves as a reminder of the incredible feats achieved by visionaries like Fowler, Baker, and Arrol - their legacy immortalized in steel against the backdrop of Scotland's rugged landscape. It is a tribute to those who dared to dream big and build even bigger.
