EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Dundee waterfront in Scotland, circa 1906, with the iconic Royal Arch taking center stage. The Royal Arch, an architectural marvel, was erected between 1849 and 1853 to commemorate the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to the city in 1844. The structure, a testament to the grandeur and prosperity of Dundee during the Victorian era, stood proudly over the bustling docks and quays. The image showcases the intricate details of the harbor wall, quays, and quayside, with ships anchored at the docks, waiting to unload their cargo. The water reflects the vibrant colors of the buildings and the clear blue sky, creating a serene and picturesque scene. Unfortunately, the majestic Royal Arch did not stand the test of time. It was demolished in early 1964 to make way for the Tay Road Bridge, a modern engineering feat that connected Fife to Dundee. Today, the photograph serves as a reminder of Dundee's rich history and its transformation over the years. The image is a must-have for anyone interested in Scottish history, architecture, or simply appreciating the beauty of the past.
