In this scene, we witness the grandeur and importance of this construction project as dignitaries and workers gather around the foundation stone. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as they prepare to lay down the first stones that will connect both sides of the River Thames. The architectural details depicted in this engraving are truly remarkable. Every intricate carving on Blackfriars Bridge stands out, showcasing the craftsmanship of its builders.
