The New Tower Bridge, birds eye view,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an enigmatic and captivating image from the past, hails from the pages of "The Graphic. An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper Volume 33," published in January to June of 1886. The photograph, rendered in striking black and white, presents a breathtaking aerial perspective of the iconic Tower Bridge in London, England. The Tower Bridge, an engineering marvel of the Victorian era, was designed by Sir Horace Jones and completed in 1894. This photograph, taken a full eight years prior to its completion, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the construction process. The bridge, still under development, stands proudly against the backdrop of the City of London, its imposing towers and suspension cables already in place. The River Thames, a vital artery of transportation and commerce, winds its way through the heart of London, dotted with boats and barges that ply their trade along its banks. The industrial landscape of the city is evident in the numerous chimneys and factories that line the horizon, belching smoke into the sky. Southwark, located on the southern bank of the Thames, is visible in the distance, its buildings nestled among the rolling hills and green spaces. This photograph, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the human spirit, invites us to explore the rich history of London and the engineering feats that shaped its landscape. The mystery of its creator, unknown, only adds to its allure, making it a prized addition to any collection of historical images.
