The Forth Rail Bridge
The Forth Bridge
The Forth Bridge (Built 1890) was the largest span bridge in the world. The bridge took seven years to build, cost £ 3 million at the time and used over 50, 000 tons of steel. It was the largest civil engineering structure achieved during the nineteenth century and, although William Morris described it as the supremest specimen of all ugliness, it remains one of the industrial wonders of the world.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Forth Bridge, a monumental feat of engineering that has stood the test of time. Built in 1890, this magnificent structure was once the largest span bridge in the world. It took seven years to complete and required an astounding 50,000 tons of steel, making it a true testament to human ingenuity. Despite its impressive size and strength, opinions about its aesthetic appeal have varied over the years. Renowned artist William Morris famously described it as "the supremest specimen of all ugliness". However, regardless of personal taste, there is no denying that the Forth Bridge remains one of Scotland's industrial wonders and a symbol of architectural excellence. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to this image captured around 1955. The cantilever design stands tall against Edinburgh's picturesque landscape while spanning across the river with grace and power. This photograph not only showcases the bridge itself but also highlights how it harmoniously blends into its surroundings. As we gaze upon this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of both our ability to conquer immense challenges through innovation and our capacity for appreciating beauty in unexpected forms. It serves as a reminder that even structures initially deemed unattractive can become beloved landmarks that define an entire region's identity.
