EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of men dressed in traditional Highland attire standing proudly in front of the iconic Forth Bridge in Scotland. The Forth Railway Bridge, an engineering marvel of the 19th century, was designed by Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker, with William Arrol as the principal contractor. This cantilever bridge, spanning the Firth of Forth, remains in use to this day. The image showcases not only the impressive steel structure of the bridge but also highlights the rich cultural heritage of Scotland. The men don their kilts and highland dress, representing a proud Scottish tradition that has endured through generations. The composition beautifully juxtaposes man-made construction against natural elements like water and sky. It is a testament to human ingenuity harmonizing with nature's beauty. Underwood & Underwood masterfully captured this moment using stereoscopic photography techniques, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this historical snapshot. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to Victorian times when railway bridges were symbols of progress and innovation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing landscapes, traditions remain steadfastly rooted in our hearts.
