EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to March 1860 with this engraving of the Charing Cross Railway Bridge over the Thames, as seen from the Illustrated London News. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into a bygone era when the bridge was still under construction and Charing Cross station had yet to open its doors to passengers.
In the distance, Westminster looms majestically, adding an air of grandeur to the scene. Two sailing barges gracefully glide beneath the bridge, their masts dipping in deference as they pass through. The meticulous detail captured in this print transports viewers back to a time when steam trains chugged along iron tracks and sailboats ruled the river.
Published at a time when progress was measured in bricks and mortar, this engraving is not just a snapshot of history but also a testament to human ingenuity and ambition. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days of railway expansion and industrial revolution.
Whether you're a history buff or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back in time to witness firsthand the birth of modern transportation infrastructure.
