EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Royal Border Bridge, an architectural gem nestled in the charming town of Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland. Designed by the brilliant Robert Stephenson and inaugurated with great pomp by Queen Victoria herself in 1850, this iconic 28-arch viaduct stands as a testament to Victorian engineering prowess. As we gaze at this remarkable image captured by Eric de Mare, our eyes are drawn to a train gracefully traversing the Royal Border Railway Viaduct. The juxtaposition of modern locomotion against the backdrop of timeless beauty is truly awe-inspiring. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and innovation, history's grandeur can still be cherished. The intricate details of each arch and pillar tell stories of an era long gone but not forgotten. This photograph encapsulates both strength and elegance; it captures the essence of Victorian design philosophy perfectly. Eric de Mare's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of this historic structure - from its majestic height to its delicate ornamentation. The play between light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, enhancing our appreciation for this architectural masterpiece. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness Queen Victoria's momentous opening ceremony while simultaneously marveling at the enduring legacy left behind by Robert Stephenson's genius.
