EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tower Bridge, c1900s. A captivating glimpse into the past, this vintage print showcases the iconic Tower Bridge in all its grandeur. Created by Eyre & Spottiswoode, it captures a moment when the bascules of the bridge are raised, allowing ships to gracefully pass through on the majestic River Thames. Constructed between 1881 and 1894 according to designs by Sir Horace Jones, this architectural marvel was a testament to Victorian engineering ingenuity. The central section of the bridge was ingeniously designed to be raised whenever necessary, enabling smooth navigation for vessels traveling to and from London's bustling wharves. The image exudes an air of timeless elegance with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. It transports us back in time, offering a window into early 20th-century Britain. As we gaze upon this historic landmark against the backdrop of London's cityscape, we can't help but marvel at how it has stood as a symbol of British pride for over a century. This remarkable print is part of 'The Album of Coloured Views of London' published by Eyre & Spottiswoode Ltd. , serving as both an artistic tribute and historical documentation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, there are enduring structures that continue to define our cities' landscapes.
