Forth Railway Bridge
circa 1925: A steamer on the River Forth near the Forth Bridge. The Forth Bridge spans the Firth of Forth at Queensferry in Lothian and is over a mile long. The steel cantilever construction was designed by John Fowler and Benjamin Baker to carry a double-track railway line and a road over the river. When it was completed in 1890 it was the longest bridge of its kind and considered a great achievement in engineering. (Photo by Alfred Hind Robinson/A H Robinson/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1925, capturing a steamer gracefully navigating the River Forth near the iconic Forth Bridge. The bridge, an engineering marvel designed by John Fowler and Benjamin Baker, spans over a mile across the Firth of Forth at Queensferry in Lothian, Scotland. Completed in 1890, it held the title of being the longest bridge of its kind at that time. The image showcases the steel cantilever construction of this magnificent structure as it carries both a double-track railway line and a road over the river. Its grandeur is evident even in this monochromatic format, emphasizing its architectural brilliance against nature's backdrop. Alfred Hind Robinson skillfully captures not only the immensity of this feat but also highlights how seamlessly man-made structures coexist with their natural surroundings. The steamship elegantly glides through calm waters underneath this towering symbol of human achievement. As we admire this photograph today, we are reminded of how far engineering has come since then while appreciating how timeless and enduring such landmarks can be. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation throughout history.
