EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Waterloo Bridge in London, spanning across the majestic River Thames. Painted by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd in 1817, it beautifully captures the architectural marvel created by Scottish civil engineer John Rennie between 1811 and 1817. What makes this bridge unique is its construction method. Instead of using caissons, Rennie employed coffer dams to build the piers. This innovative approach allowed for a more efficient and stable foundation for the bridge. The print not only highlights the impressive engineering feat but also provides a glimpse into life on the river during that time period. The bustling water transport scene features boats and barges navigating through the archways of Waterloo Bridge. The color palette chosen by Shepherd adds vibrancy to this nineteenth-century landscape engraving. It immerses viewers in an era where transportation played a vital role in connecting different parts of England. As we admire this historical artwork, we are reminded of Sir John Rennie's contribution to British civil engineering and how his creation continues to stand as an enduring symbol of London's rich heritage.
