EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "London from the Strand Bridge, 1816" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the bustling city during the early 19th century. Taken by artist W Wallis, it showcases Waterloo Bridge in its construction phase, designed by the renowned John Rennie and completed in 1817. The image beautifully captures the concept of bridge building as a metaphor for progress and connection. The workers diligently toil away on this monumental civil engineering project, symbolizing their occupation as builders of physical bridges while also bridging gaps between people and places. Set against the backdrop of River Thames, London's iconic St Paul's Cathedral stands tall with an air of religious significance. This juxtaposition highlights both man-made structures and natural geographical features that define England's capital city. In this monochrome scene filled with male labourers immersed in their work, we witness not only a snapshot of history but also a testament to human determination and craftsmanship. The print collector has preserved this invaluable piece that allows us to delve into Britain's rich past. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by W Wallis featuring Sir John Rennie's architectural masterpiece taking shape before our eyes, we are reminded of how construction industry professionals have played an integral role in shaping our cities throughout time.
