The Opening of the Bridge, the Ceremony on the Dais
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a historic moment in London's history. This enchanting engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and significance of Tower Bridge. The image immortalizes a pivotal event that took place on July 7,1894. In this scene, we witness HRH The Prince of Wales presiding over the ceremony from an elevated dais. With great anticipation, royal visitors and spectators gather along the River Thames to witness this monumental occasion. As bascules are turned and levered into position, Tower Bridge begins its majestic ascent. The bridge itself stands as a symbol of engineering brilliance and architectural magnificence. Its sturdy stone pillars support a magnificent supsension structure that connects pedestrians across the river with ease. Tower Bridge is not just any ordinary bridge; it represents unity between communities and serves as a vital link for transportation in bustling London. This print encapsulates both royalty and commoners coming together to celebrate progress and innovation. It pays homage to those who dedicated their skills to constructing such an impressive feat of engineering marvels. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to relive this momentous day when Tower Bridge was unveiled before our very eyes—a testament to human ingenuity standing proudly against London's iconic skyline for generations to come.
