EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1968, showcasing the monumental construction of the Kingston Bridge in Glasgow, Scotland. The image captures a bird's-eye view of this impressive railway bridge as it stretches across the mighty River Clyde, connecting Argyle Street with Kingston Dock. The scene is bustling with activity, portraying an era when industry thrived and progress was tangible. A block-like structure emerges from the riverbanks, symbolizing human ingenuity and determination to conquer nature's obstacles. Amidst cranes and scaffolding, workers can be seen tirelessly building what would become one of Glasgow's iconic landmarks. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this industrial landscape is the grandeur of Glasgow Central Station in the background. Its architectural beauty stands tall amidst a sea of buildings, reminding us that even amidst progress and modernization, history remains intertwined with our present. This remarkable print serves as a visual testament to both human achievement and urban transformation over time. It invites us to reflect on how cities evolve while preserving their historical roots. Preserved by Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland (NCAP: MOD: JARIC), this photograph offers a glimpse into an important chapter in Glasgow's history - capturing not just bricks and mortar but also the spirit of innovation that defines this vibrant cityscape.
