Bridge Building
circa 1888: The Forth Bridge under construction, seen from North Queensferry. The steel cantilever construction was designed by John Fowler and Benjamin Baker to carry a double-track railway line and a road over the river. When it was completed in 1890 it was the longest bridge of its kind and considered a great achievement in engineering. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous engineering feat from the late 19th century - the construction of the iconic Forth Bridge in Scotland. Taken circa 1888, the image showcases the steel cantilever structure designed by John Fowler and Benjamin Baker as it rises majestically over the river, connecting North Queensferry to South Queensferry.
The Forth Bridge was a groundbreaking project for its time, intended to carry both a double-track railway line and a road across the water. When completed in 1890, it held the title of being the longest bridge of its kind in existence, solidifying its status as an architectural marvel and symbol of human ingenuity.
In this black and white format, every detail of this historic construction is brought to life - from the intricate lattice work of steel beams to the vast expanse of water below. The sheer scale and complexity of this infrastructure project are truly awe-inspiring, serving as a testament to what can be achieved through determination and innovation.
As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements but also of our ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. The Forth Bridge stands as a timeless reminder that with vision and perseverance, anything is possible.
