London Bridge, London, c1910 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to early 20th century London, capturing the iconic London Bridge in all its grandeur. The bridge, designed by the renowned engineer John Rennie and constructed with sturdy granite materials, opened its majestic arches to connect Southwark and the City over the mighty River Thames in 1831. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a bustling scene of activity on and around the bridge. Paddle steamers gracefully glide along the river's surface while pedestrians traverse its walkways. The cityscape unfolds before our eyes as Fishmongers Hall stands proudly on one side of the bridge, symbolizing centuries-old trade traditions. On the other side lies St Magnus the Martyr church, a testament to Christian heritage amidst urban development. Hand-coloured with care and attention to detail, this postcard-turned-photo print captures not only architectural marvel but also provides insight into daily life during that era. It serves as a reminder of how transportation played an integral role in shaping cities like London. Interestingly enough, this very structure would find itself disassembled decades later in an unexpected twist of fate. Sold off and transported across continents to Arizona in America during the 1970s for preservation purposes – preserving history thousands of miles away from its original home. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by an unknown creator from another time period altogether – it is impossible not to feel a sense of awe at witnessing such historical significance through their lens.
