EDITORS COMMENTS
Drunken View of The Forth Bridge, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland (circa 1920s) This photograph captures the iconic Forth Bridge in Edinburgh, Scotland, during the 1920s, in a unique and intriguing perspective. Known as the "Drunken View," this image showcases the bridge's impressive structure as it appears to lean precariously over the Firth of Forth. The Forth Bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, was completed in 1890 and is a testament to the industrial prowess of Scotland during the late 19th century. Designed by Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker, the bridge spans over 2,520 meters (8,268 feet) and connects the towns of North and South Queensferry. The name "Drunken View" is believed to have originated from the bridge's appearance when viewed from certain angles, particularly during periods of heavy rain or fog. The optical illusion, caused by the bridge's cantilever design and the curvature of the land, creates an enchanting and slightly disorienting effect. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bridge's historical significance and the unique character of Scotland's rich industrial heritage. The black-and-white image, with its high contrast and sharp lines, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and engineering brilliance of this iconic landmark.
