EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Construction of New London Bridge, 9 November 1827" takes us back in time to witness a monumental moment in the history of London's iconic bridge. Created by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, this print showcases the bustling scene on the River Thames as workers diligently construct the new bridge. The image transports us to a crisp autumn day in 1827, where arches and barges dominate the river's landscape. The construction site is alive with activity as laborers meticulously piece together each section of the bridge. In the foreground, boats and tugboats navigate through the waterways, providing essential transportation for materials and workers alike. One cannot help but be captivated by this snapshot from history that captures both progress and tradition. As we observe this historic event unfold before our eyes, it becomes apparent that this project was not only about building a physical structure but also symbolized growth and connectivity for London. The timing of this engraving coincides with an important event - Lord Mayor's Procession. This celebration adds an extra layer of significance to the image as it highlights how infrastructure development played a pivotal role in shaping cultural traditions. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to have access to such remarkable historical records like these engravings.
