The Forth Rail Bridge. The Forth Bridge (Built 1890) was the largest span bridge in the world. The bridge took seven years to build, cost £ 3 million at the time and used over 50, 000 tons of steel. It was the largest civil engineering structure achieved during the nineteenth century and, although William Morris described it as the supremest specimen of all ugliness, it remains one of the industrial wonders of the world.
Circa 1960.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Forth Rail Bridge, a true marvel of engineering. Built in 1890, it held the title of the largest span bridge in the world at that time. The construction process lasted seven years and required an impressive 50,000 tons of steel, making it a testament to human ingenuity. Despite its grandeur, opinions about its aesthetic appeal have varied throughout history. While some critics like William Morris deemed it as "the supremest specimen of all ugliness" others recognize its significance as one of the industrial wonders of our world. The image itself captures the bridge's magnificent cantilever design with intricate girders stretching across Scotland's picturesque landscape. It evokes a sense of strength and resilience against nature's elements. The photograph is dated circa 1960, providing us with a glimpse into this architectural masterpiece during that era. As we celebrate March 4th as the anniversary when Prince Charles inaugurated this remarkable structure back in 1890, let us appreciate how it has stood strong for over seven decades. This Memory Lane Prints print allows us to admire not only the beauty but also the historical importance behind such structures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and evolving technologies, these timeless landmarks continue to inspire awe and admiration worldwide.
