EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the second tube of Conway Bridge in September 1848. Engraved by the talented artist George Hawkins, this lithograph showcases the remarkable engineering feat designed by Robert Stephenson. The image transports us back to a time when railway development was at its peak, with this bridge serving as a vital link for transportation. The sheer scale of the construction is awe-inspiring, as workers can be seen diligently toiling away on the beach below. The contrast between their small figures and the towering structure emphasizes both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur. Conway Bridge stands proudly against the backdrop of Wales' picturesque landscape, blending seamlessly into its surroundings. Its tubular design revolutionized bridge building techniques during that era, leaving an indelible mark on architectural history.
