The Completion of the Uganda Railway, the Last Hundred Miles
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that takes us back to a significant moment in history. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print captures the final stretch of the ambitious Uganda Railway project. The image showcases a panoramic view of the landscape, with two prominent bridges stealing our attention. The stony river bridge and girder bridge stand tall against the backdrop of rugged terrain and lush vegetation. These engineering marvels symbolize human determination and triumph over nature's obstacles. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported to Kibigori and Mohoroni, where these monumental structures mark their completion. The temporary nature of some elements reminds us that progress often requires sacrifice and adaptation. This print not only celebrates technological achievement but also sheds light on East Africa's rich topography. It offers a glimpse into how railways played a crucial role in connecting distant regions, fostering trade, and opening up new possibilities for development. Preserved within a private collection, this historical gem was originally featured as an illustration in The Illustrated London News on October 25th, 1902. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection ensures its accessibility for generations to come. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images' lensman, we can appreciate both the artistry behind photography as well as its ability to document pivotal moments that shape our world today.
