EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment when Wandsworth, Putney, and Hammersmith Bridges in London became toll-free, as depicted in five distinct scenes. In the top image, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Albert Edward and Alexandra, are shown reading the address at Wandsworth Bridge, marking the official opening ceremony. The second scene displays an exhilarating race across Putney Bridge, as men vied to be the first man to cross the newly toll-free bridge. The third image captures the moment of tradition being broken, as one of the old toll gates is thrown into the river, symbolizing the end of the toll system. Moving on, the fourth scene shows the Royal party leaving Hammersmith Bridge, signaling their departure from the opening ceremonies. Lastly, the fifth scene portrays a heartwarming moment as the Princess of Wales meets the bridge keeper's daughter at Putney Bridge, demonstrating the connection between the community and the royal family. This engraving, dated July 1880, is an essential piece of London's history, offering a glimpse into the past and the significance of these bridges in the city's development.
