EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mersey Tunnel: A Historic Moment Unveiled by Royalty". This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the opening of The Mersey Tunnel by none other than the Prince of Wales on 20th January. Created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, this print showcases both artistic skill and historical importance. The illustration provides a detailed view of various elements associated with this engineering marvel. From the first ferry steamer to steam pumping works, woodside ferry boats to sandstone rock formations, every intricate detail is meticulously depicted. The tunnel itself can be seen beneath the river bed, stretching its way through Liverpool's bustling cityscape. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to that monumental day in 1886 when the Prince of Wales inaugurated this remarkable feat of human ingenuity. It was not merely a tunnel but a symbol of progress and connectivity for Birkenhead and Merseyside. The surface of water reflects the excitement and anticipation felt by all those present at James Street as they witnessed history being made. This engraving serves as a testament to human achievement and reminds us how far we have come in terms of technological advancements. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who appreciate both artistry and historical significance. Let it serve as a reminder that even in our modern world, there is still much wonder to be found in our past accomplishments.
