EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Hungerford Suspension Bridge in London, circa 1850. The photographer remains unknown, but their skillful composition perfectly showcases the bridge and boats on the River Thames. In the distance, Nelson's Column proudly stands as a testament to British history. Completed in 1845, this magnificent suspension bridge sadly met its demise between 1859 and 1860 when it was demolished to make way for the Charing Cross Railway Bridge. However, its legacy lives on through its recycled chains which were later used in constructing Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge. The image is sourced from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" by Edward Walford (Vol. III). Published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. in 1881 during the Victorian era. Transportation along the River Thames plays a significant role in this photograph as numerous barges gracefully glide across its waters. This snapshot provides a glimpse into England's bustling capital city during the nineteenth century. Preserved monochromatically with impeccable detail by The Print Collector at Heritage Images, this historical piece offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in Britain's rich heritage and appreciate how landscapes change over time while still retaining their timeless beauty.
