EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LONDON: PONTOON, 1860" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable event. The image showcases the demonstration of Captain Francis Fowkes' pontoon bridge on the serene Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park, London. It was an extraordinary moment as troops and spectators gathered around to witness this innovative transportation marvel. In the late Victorian era, Captain Fowkes presented his groundbreaking creation before none other than the Duke of Cambridge himself. This wood engraving captures the essence of that historic day when soldiers stood tall alongside their captain, ready to showcase the capabilities of this pontoon bridge. The scene is filled with anticipation as men line up on either side of the bridge while others watch from afar. The intricate details captured by Granger Art on Demand allow us to appreciate both the exterior beauty of Hyde Park and the engineering brilliance behind Fowkes' creation. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to a period where innovation and progress were highly celebrated. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, moments like these allowed people to pause and marvel at human ingenuity.
