St Austell, 1860 - A Glimpse into Victorian Cornwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1860 in St Austell, a picturesque town nestled in the heart of Cornwall, England. The scene unfolds on the renowned Cornwall Railway, later incorporated into the Great Western Railway (GWR), showcasing one of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's remarkable timber viaducts. The bridge stands tall and proud, constructed with Kyanzed yellow Baltic pine imported from Memel. Its elegant timberwork was said to have a lifespan of thirty years, serving as a testament to Brunel's ingenuity and skill in civil engineering. As we delve deeper into this enchanting landscape captured by Henry Besley for his book "Views of Devonshire and Cornwall" our eyes are drawn towards the lush green valley below. Cattle graze peacefully amidst vibrant plant life and towering trees, adding an idyllic touch to this rural setting. Intriguingly, a train can be seen traversing across the viaduct—a symbol of progress and connectivity that revolutionized transportation during the 19th century. This harmonious blend of nature and human innovation encapsulates both the beauty and advancements characteristic of Victorian England. With its monochrome charm preserved through time, this engraving offers us a window into history—an opportunity to appreciate not only St Austell's natural splendor but also celebrate visionaries like Isambard Kingdom Brunel who shaped our world
