EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning sepia-toned stereoscopic image captures a moment frozen in time during the construction of the iconic Crumlin Viaduct in South Wales, 1856. Scottish civil engineer Thomas W. Kennard stands proudly atop his unfinished structure, overlooking the vast expanse of wooden decking that will soon support a railway track and ballast.
Surrounded by a small group of men, Kennard cuts an impressive figure in his top hat as he oversees the progress of this monumental engineering feat. The viaduct, which began construction in 1853, would go on to become a vital transportation link before being dismantled over a century later in 1967.
The intricate details captured by the London Stereoscopic Company bring this historic moment to life with remarkable clarity and depth. From the rough-hewn timbers beneath their feet to the distant horizon stretching out beyond, every element of this scene is imbued with a sense of purpose and determination.
As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of the ingenuity and skill required to build such structures but also of the enduring legacy left behind by visionaries like Thomas W. Kennard. This print serves as both a testament to human achievement and a window into a bygone era where progress was measured one timber at a time.
