EDITORS COMMENTS
Vauxhall Bridge 1906" is an evocative and captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the iconic Vauxhall Bridge in London during its early years. This image, taken in 1906, transports us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages and early motorcars crossing the Thames. The Vauxhall Bridge, completed in 1906, was the third Thames crossing in London to be built using a steel suspension design. Designed by Sir Robert McDougall and Mott, Hay and Anderson, the bridge was an engineering marvel of its time, boasting a length of 2,276 feet and a width of 110 feet. The bridge's distinctive lattice towers and suspension cables are prominently displayed in this photograph, providing a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the late Victorian era. The photograph captures the bridge in all its glory, with the Thames flowing calmly beneath it, reflecting the sunlight that filters through the overcast sky. The bridge's towers cast long, intricate shadows on the water, adding depth and texture to the image. The bustling activity on the bridge is a testament to the bridge's importance as a vital transport link between the north and south banks of the Thames. Horse-drawn carriages and early motorcars can be seen making their way across the bridge, while pedestrians can be seen strolling along the pavement, taking in the stunning views of the river and the city beyond. This photograph is a precious reminder of London's rich history and the evolution of its transport infrastructure. It offers a unique perspective on the past, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of London over a century ago.
