EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing depicts a low-angle view of the iconic Tower Bridge in London, captured around the year 1923. The bridge, a marvel of engineering, is a beautiful fusion of both bascule and suspension designs, showcasing the innovative ingenuity of its creators. Designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry, Tower Bridge was built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge's distinctive towers, adorned with ornate decorations, rise majestically over the River Thames, while the bascule sections pivot outwards to allow the passage of larger vessels. The vibrant colours of this drawing bring the scene to life, with the intricate details of the bridge's structure and the surrounding environment meticulously rendered. The towers, clad in Cornish granite and Portland stone, appear robust and sturdy, while the suspension cables, suspended high above the river, seem to dance gracefully in the air. The River Thames, with its shimmering waters reflecting the towers and the surrounding cityscape, adds to the serene beauty of the image. This drawing was published in a colour magazine, Volume 19, September, 1923, featuring the work of artist Alison Birch. The image offers a unique perspective of one of London's most iconic landmarks, inviting us to appreciate the grandeur and engineering prowess of Tower Bridge.
