EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of history - an aerial ferry suspended over the River Mersey in England. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases a unique mode of transportation that was prevalent during its time. The aerial ferry, with its steel ropes stretched across the river, hangs gracefully as it carries passengers from one side to another. This innovative means of transport relied on electric power and cost just a penny for a journey, making it accessible to all. Surrounded by other forms of transportation such as cars and airplanes, this photograph highlights the contrast between old and new technologies. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of aviation and bridge construction. The presence of various types of bridges - wooden, stone, pedestrian, and suspension - further emphasizes the importance of these structures in connecting people and places throughout history. With its historical significance and stunning composition, this print is not only visually appealing but also offers insight into early modes of transport powered by electricity. A true testament to human ingenuity and progress!
