EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A View of the Pont-Cysylltau Aqueduct, 1861" transports us back to the heart of the Industrial Revolution in 19th century Wales. The image showcases the remarkable engineering feat that is the Pontcysyllte aqueduct, a true testament to human ingenuity and innovation. Stretching across the picturesque valley of the River Dee in Wrexham, Wales, this magnificent aqueduct was completed in 1805 by Thomas Telford and William Jessop. It stands as an enduring symbol of British engineering prowess, being both the longest and highest aqueduct in all of Britain. The intricate details captured by Percival Skelton's masterful engraving bring this architectural marvel to life. The viewer can almost feel themselves standing on its stone arches, gazing out at the breathtaking landscape below. As we admire this print from a private collection today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its continued relevance. The Pontcysyllte aqueduct remains an active part of our waterway system, carrying the Llangollen Canal over these very same waters. Let this enchanting artwork serve as a reminder that even centuries later, human achievements continue to shape our world and inspire future generations.
