This photograph, titled "Building the Bridge over the Atbara River in the Soudan" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases a remarkable engineering feat that occurred during that time. The scene depicts a junction where a temporary bridge is being constructed over the mighty Atbara River in Sudan. The image offers a glimpse into the meticulous process of building bridges during this era. Iron cylinders are seen being sunk into the riverbed while a travelling crane hovers above, assisting with heavy lifting tasks. The superstructure of the bridge begins to take shape as workers diligently work on its construction. A compressed air machine stands nearby, indicating advanced techniques employed for this ambitious project. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary architectural endeavor but also serves as evidence of human ingenuity and determination.
