EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled Hammersmith Bridge CC73_00254, showcases the timeless beauty of Hammersmith Bridge in Barnes, Greater London. Built in 1887, this decorative suspension bridge is a testament to the engineering prowess of Sir Joseph Bazalgette, a distinguished civil engineer whose innovations extended beyond this iconic structure to include London's sewage system and other notable bridges. Captured by the skilled lens of Henry Taunt in 1895, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the Victorian era. The bridge, adorned with intricate ironwork and graceful suspension cables, stands proudly against the backdrop of the serene riverbank. The tranquil waters reflect the bridge's elegant design, creating a mirror image that enhances its visual appeal. Bazalgette's masterpiece, a symbol of London's industrial and architectural heritage, has withstood the test of time, continuing to gracefully connect the north and south banks of the Thames. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of Hammersmith Bridge and the engineering marvels of the past.
