EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to 1868, offering a glimpse into the past and showcasing an impressive feat of engineering. Titled "The Volunteer Review at Portsmouth: the First Hants Engineer Volunteers Constructing a Barrel-Pier Bridge for the Sortie at Hilsea Lines" this image captures a significant moment in history. Intriguingly, we see skilled volunteers diligently constructing a barrel-pier bridge overpass, demonstrating their expertise as mechanics, machinists, technicians, inventors, and engineers. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving - from the carefully placed barrels forming the foundation of the bridge to each volunteer's focused expression. Hilsea Lines serves as both backdrop and purpose for this construction project. This sortie was undoubtedly crucial during that time period and required innovative solutions like these barrel piers. The Victorian-era illustrative technique employed adds an artistic touch to this vintage piece while preserving its historical significance. As we delve into this engraved image, it becomes clear that it represents more than just engineering prowess; it symbolizes unity and community spirit through voluntary service. These dedicated individuals came together under the banner of Hants Engineer Volunteers to contribute their skills towards building something remarkable. With its retro-styled charm and engravement technique reminiscent of yesteryears' arts and culture scene, this print by 000021 transports us back in time while celebrating human ingenuity and collaboration.
