EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Tunneling, Shaft 21 at Kings Bridge, NY" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the monumental construction efforts of the New Aqueduct for the City of New York. The image showcases soldiers diligently working in unison, armed with their Rand Shaft-bars and drills as they tunnel through the earth. The scene is filled with an air of determination and purpose as these brave men labor tirelessly to create this vital infrastructure for their city. Their military precision is evident in every stroke and movement, highlighting their commitment to excellence. Published in Edwards Farrow's Military Encyclopedia in 1885, this engraving not only captures a significant moment in history but also pays homage to Farrow's expertise as an assistant instructor of tactics at West Point Military Academy.
