This print showcases the magnificent Britannia Tubular Bridge, an engineering marvel that spans across the Menai Straits, connecting the Welsh mainland to Angelsea. Built between 1846 and 1850 under the brilliant guidance of engineer Robert Stephenson, this box girder bridge stands as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. The image captures the grandeur of this historic structure, with its intricate design and remarkable suspension system. The bridge's elegant arches gracefully stretch over the glistening waters below, creating a breathtaking sight that exemplifies both beauty and functionality. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in British history - the opening of this monumental railway link on 18th March 1850. It symbolizes progress and connectivity, representing not only advancements in civil engineering but also facilitating transportation for countless individuals. The reverse side of a commemorative medal dedicated to celebrating the construction of this iconic bridge is featured alongside it.
