This print showcases the Viaduct on the Baltimore & Washington Railroad, dating back to 1838. The artwork was created by Henry Adlard and is an illustration based on a painting by William Henry Bartlett, who explored the United States during the 1830s. This particular print is featured in Charles Tomlinson's Cyclopaedia of Useful Arts from London in 1866. The image captures a picturesque landscape with a prominent viaduct bridge spanning over a river. The architectural features of the viaduct are highlighted, showcasing its impressive construction and civil engineering prowess of that era.
