EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to witness a momentous event in transportation history. The image showcases the original iron-girder viaduct at Penponds, Cornwall, before its replacement with a magnificent stone structure in 1899. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are immediately drawn to the passing express train that gracefully traverses the viaduct's arches. Intriguingly, amidst the picturesque countryside backdrop of rolling fields and lush greenery, a lone figure stands in the foreground. This man serves as a silent observer, perhaps marveling at both the engineering feat of this impressive railway bridge and the sheer power and speed of locomotion embodied by the Great Western Railway (GWR) express train. The photographer behind this remarkable composition remains unknown; however, their skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance of this moment but also Cornwall's rich railway heritage. It is through such visual treasures that we can connect with our past and gain insight into how advancements like these have shaped our present-day transportation systems. As we delve into this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us reflect on how innovation has transformed landscapes while preserving glimpses of history for generations to come.
