One of the railway engineering wonders of the Victorian era, the Forth Bridge, near Edinburgh, crosses the Firth of Forth. Construction began in 1883 and the bridge was opened in 1890. To stand close to it today, flanked as it is by two modern road bridges, leaves one in awe of the design and construction skills required to build such a magnificent structure. This unusual view shows a maintenance crew walking along a girder without any safety or protective equipment while, in the distance, the bridge disappears into the mist.
The original photograph from our archive, on which this photo-art is based, was taken in the 1920s. We hope you enjoy our interpretation of this iconic scene. Please visit our website 'The Keasbury-Gordon Gallery' at keasbury-gordon.com to see a selection of our 20,000 fascinating, historical photographs.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive is based in Lancashire, England. We've collected remarkable, historical photographs for over fifty years, many of which were taken by the finest Victorian professional photographers. Our images are used by TV companies, publishers and creative industries worldwide.
Most of the early photographs that have survived have no technical or artistic merit but a few are pin sharp and beautifully composed, with interesting and often historically important content. It is those rarities that we have sought and purchased over five decades and our NFT Photo-Art is based on some of the best in our archive. Welcome to our fascinating and sometimes rather strange world!
